Maybe at the time I'd have felt differently but
now I look back and think it was a very
positive, robust discussion. Not that
cutting is ever easy. Again, we had
to eliminate some positions and say
goodbye to some people who you would've
preferred not to. But it's
like that old saying, "never waste a good
crisis." This was an opportunity to reassess and reexamine what we were
doing and how we were doing it and where
the revenues were going, and really
ask ourselves what our highest
priorities are. You hate to do that under
the pressure of a crisis, but sometimes
the pressure of a crisis is needed in
order to have those discussions about
what really matters to an organization.
So we did.
