What could be more important than the very best mix of employees, the heart of any company. Chemistry between and among all employees and customers, vendors, and the rest of the outside world, is essential to the success of any company. Especially a small business, where there is no place to hide, and no room for mediocrity. I have to go through this exercise at times when it is a question of survival for the company. There are no choices and no time to be methodical.
Cuts are absolute for survival.
The company waited too long. You do not want to wait for that. No room for Mr. Nice Guy. Much easier to go through it methodically and periodically, and not wait for a crisis to make the right decision. Everything can be done on an orderly basis.
