They had 700 people doing redundant work? Good thing they waited until there was potential for a recession to actually decide to look into that. Excellent business leadership.

It seems reasonable that a business would accept more bloat in good times than bad. The risk profile changes when the forecast changes.

Which potential recession are we talking about? The one that was supposed to happen 3 months ago? or 6 months ago? Or 9 months ago? A year ago? 2 years ago? There’s so many potential recessions i’ve lost count!

To be fair, at all times there is the potential for a recession
