    You don’t need $10 billion in revenue. You could just coast along and only hit, what, $9.8 billion? And then you wouldn’t have to ruin 500 people’s lives. I’m betting the CEO has a bonus scheduled if he hits this goal.

        That’s fine, a human or any other life too only grow until they die.

        The problem is that some companies don’t die when they should.

        That includes Microsoft and Apple and Intel, among others.

            On another level it’s known as Sosnovsky’s hogweed

            OK, my sense of humor is conditioned by playing video games for like 6-7 hours to avoid seeing people sending dumb May 9 congratulations.

        Exactly.

        This is why I’m happy I work for a Family owned company. They know some years revenue just won’t be bigger and that’s ok. I’ve only seen like one wave of “layoffs” and even then most of the people that left just took an early retirement deal coz they were going to retire that year anyways, so that basically fixed the re organization that needed to happen
