They're doing this for no other reason than "we're not making enough money." The work will still be there, their remaining employees will be double and triple shifted with no increase in compensation. All so their bottom line will look more "golden."

How did the world get this way? It's EVERYWHERE, and I'm goddammed sick of it. It's either lay people off but keep the work and kill your remaining employees or don't hire enough staff to do the jobs and overwork your existing staff.

I think the entire business world is full of crap.
