I worked for this man for 7 years...

I once was called to an "emergency" conference call where it was announced that 350 people were being "laid off". "Laid off" means fired. Just to be clear.

What if... WHAT IF!!!!!!! He'd have taken a small pay cut himself? What if?

Could some of those jobs have been saved?

Hmmm???

Just saying.
