I'm probably looking to be combative due to this social isolation, but one of the last lines irked me:
> People are counting on you to do the right thing.
Only because he says this after talking about layoffs as a purely business decision. I have no moral qualms with doing layoffs, and as others discussed it might be better to do one for the moral of the employees than to be stuck with multiple rounds of layoffs.
But he talks about having plenty of cash, then cutting more than needed (which is people's livelihood)... then uses the same livelihood as motivation. Am I being overly cynical?
