Most large companies have a lot of dead weight. Not as much with smaller private concerns. Fortune 500 I worked for had, it seemed, about 1 million V.P.’s. We used to try to figure out what they did all day except send emails and bother us. Really like Dilbert.

I agree that it is very expensive to hire and train new people but it is also becoming more and more difficult to fire someone. Loyalty works both ways and it seems to me from watching what has happened to some people that I know it isn’t what it used to be.

If this works true to form, not all of the employees will be retained at that price. Expectations must be high if the company is to remain healthy.

Not nearly as much as they used to. They can't afford it. I worked for two different companies of this description in the late 1980s to 1990s.
It was easy to tell the dead weight because they were the ones constantly calling meetings, attending meeting and, worst of all, dragging out meetings which you couldn't avoid attending.
My best boss during that era had a standing agreement with me that if we were caught in a meeting for more than ten minutes after the scheduled finishing time, we would call the other back to the office due to great emergency. Said emergency generally had something to do with getting real work done.

Ever try to raise a family on $70,000 per year in Seattle.
CANNOT BE DONE. Not a chance. Things are VERY EXPENSIVE there. The least he can do is pay his workers a LIVING WAGE, so they don’t have to suffer the indignity of telling their children that Santa won’t come this year.

#30 Either you work for Apple or Scientology : ) Nope. But Steve Jobs was one of our early customers. I did get to work with him (he was the customer) just before and during the rise of PIXAR.
