I'd be glad to help you with the company's financial problems. Here are my ideas. First, I recommend offering older workers a big retirement bonus with medical coverage for six months. I think that about 100 workers would take the offer. Second, I propose that we stop all new hiring. We can use attrition to reduce staff size. I think that in a few months, we could cut our staff by about 40 workers. Next, we should cut the number of hours that everyone works to 35 hours per week. This would include everyone, even the big executives. Only as a last resort should we have layoffs. That would be very bad for company morale.
