Exactly..smooth brains think it’s just random

What people don’t understand about running a business when cash flow goes to shit..you need to eliminate fixed expenses ASAP and immediately stop hiring.

If the business functioned “yesterday” then we don’t need more people tomorrow. You need to reset and refocus.

So there is an immediate hiring freeze, which goes for anyone in the training pipeline unless they are superheros.

Sounds familiar right..probationary are now let go

Next up you stop all spending budgets and have management sign off on any expenditure from buying pencils to parts. That immediately stops frivolous spending as well as reviewing the mangers who are signing off on expenses…are they capable.

Sounds familiar right..credit cards with 1$ limit

Some babies get tossed with the bath water..just the way it goes. When a mistake is made you rehire or hire new.

The ones who don’t understand this never sat in a C-suite meeting and never had to make decisions that matter for the future of a company more than 100 people..usually those opinions come from the same people who think they know how to build a car better than “Toyota” because there’s a screw that’s hard to get to.
Just to add a tiny bit. There have been hundreds of thousands of government jobs created, to create jobs.

Clearly Norsman is not for everyone. I have friends that think it's so stupid they can't watch it. Being one step removed from Scandinavia I think it is one of the hilarious things I've ever seen. The juxtaposition of modern Scandinavian sensibilities with the Viking Age is brilliant. If you've ever spent time around them you know how real it all is.

They actually film every scene twice. Once in Norwegian and once in English. I hope they come out with a forth season, because it's one of my favorites.
Aye, may the fourth season come forth.
Ja, måtte den fjerde sesongen komme frem.
 
Local ICE raid this morning, had another pulled over about 1/2 mile down the road...

I find that pretty motivational.

I saw a lawn and gardening crew in my neighborhood this afternoon with a decal in the back window that said, we're legal, please don't arrest and deport us.
