What a benevolent bossman here, keeping 50% of the jockeys around this quarter. He is probably sacrificing one of his yachts for this.

He’s keeping some around so he can fire half again next quarter for another bonus. That’s the sort of forward-thinking strategic direction that made him the boss man.
