Hope everyone gets what they want though. (They won’t).
I think it’s making the point that an early retirement package could alleviate a lot of this, rather than just diving all in with the axe and cranking out max-training at the schoolhouse just to send everyone downwards. And furloughing without an ERP would be highly counterproductive. A lot of the guys you are keeping on property are retiring in the next year or two, anyway.
