I fully understand the process is more complicated than that... But my point was, at the end of the day, it's a guess... an educated guess, for sure, but a guess nevertheless. It's also a target... unless they have a time machine I don't know of.
My beef is that if you come "oh-so-close" to that "educated butt number" (better? I added educated ;-) and still made tons of money, just maybe 0.5% less than planned, you should not be firing good people. That's asinine...
Now on the flip side, so you don't think I'm a total socialist, last year they could have fired deadwood, and there is plenty, but instead cut everything else like printers, paper, Cofee, first aid kits!!!! and some of the morons are still working here... I guess I object more to the indiscriminate "all teams must cough one person" attitude, especially when come bonus time, you see all those new BMWs in the parking lot... Not much logic there, in my eyes anyway... I guess I should start my own company and do what I please, till then I got no right to complain ! ;-)
