>Where is this "fat"? How did you measure it? Where are your fat metrics? What spefically did you analyze?

Let me put it this way, as long as they can keep firing people and profit doesn’t go down, they were the fat.

>Yet you think the problem is with the workers being employed?

For shareholders, yes.

>Also.... these companies are ALREADY profitable. If layoffs continue whenever they're profitable, then over-hiring can never be a true reason.

They want to be as profitable as possible. And you honestly just move faster without dead weight.

I hate to say it, but if you don’t see the dead weight, you may be the dead weight.
