I have a feeling alotta companies are using the failing market as an excuse to trim the fat and clean house. That of which they couldnt do before without making them look bad. Sucks, but everyone is in business for the all mighty dollar, not to single handedly turn the economy around by carrying dead weight.

You are 100% correct. My gf works for a very large investment company and that’s what they’re doing. They are still doing well even now but they are having lay-offs and blaming the economy.
