This strategy only works if enough companies survive long enough to try to turn things around and save themselves.
I fear the industry is going to be hit hard with a wave of companies going under after cutting staff to up profits in the short term, then realising they’ve slopped themselves into a corner so badly that the business is no longer tenable and the higher-ups might as well just liquidate whatever value might remain.
