It’s a massive moral dilemma to make the first cut. Never do it twice! So cut 20% more. Let the organization hire back people. The outcome is a more efficient, productive organization that delivers its goods and services in a much better way with less waste. That’s the message I’m sure Trump will deliver, because that’s what I had to do my whole life when we would whack 30% of the staff.
You can’t keep running a company that’s bleeding cash. And these government agencies haven’t been tested or scrutinized or audited in a true sense of efficiency in 100 years. I don’t need a pollster to tell me people want this done. They’re scared about the debt. We’ve got to keep cutting and we also have to be more efficient.
