Drastic Cuts
A company had to cut costs or face bankruptcy. The CEO hired a consultant. After examining the operations and interviewing employees, he presented his findings.
Consultant: I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you can save a lot of money by laying off half of your employees.
CEO: That’s great! What’s the bad news?
Consultant: The bad news is that the remaining half will be so overworked that they’ll quit within a month.
