[quote=outtamojo]Yeah but to lay off people because they aren’t worth their pay means at some point someone did feel they were worth their pay and the decisionmakers were wrong to think that. The people who were wrong need to pay the price for their error – as a shareholder/owner that is what I demand and I see too often only the rank and file suffering.[/quote]
You are assuming that business needs are static… They are not.
At one time thousand of people were employeed to build ICBMs… THe business need has changed. Is that the C-Levels fault?
Let’s look at it a different way. Your claim that CEO made a bad decision and needs to pay for their error is also incorrect. Those employees were given a job and paid for their time and efforts. Perhaps that is a job they would have not had at all. That actually seems like an error in favor of the employee and not the CEO as they are usually performance based compensations.
As far as your comment that it is the Rank and File that suffers… Maybe that’s true…
But anyone that feels that way is assuming that they are entitled to their job…
There are no guarntees in life and no one should ever position themselves to be wholely dependent on one thing.
