How Many People Can I Fire?

An honest essay on the question every CEO eventually asks but few say out loud.

A short read on cost discipline, the moral weight of a re-org, and the difference between a clean cut and a slow bleed.

What it argues

• The cost-cutting question every CEO eventually asks
• Why "how many" is the wrong frame and what to ask instead
• The two costs you cannot measure but always pay
• A practical decision tree for thinking about it without losing the room
