All that is well and good but I can't help but notice that you excluded anything about reducing the salary of leadership for making decisions that led to this in the first place. It could just be the cynic in me, and maybe you intend to do that very thing, but I also know it's the hardest one to actually do.

It's just symbolic, but if you want to save face, this is how you do it. Nothing else will matter if you and the leadership that caused this don't take a salary cut.

Yeah I'm the one who needs to take the biggest cut - the founders actually pay themselves less salary than me. For the ICs that stay though, we want to keep things the same.
