Yeah bro. But close to 25%? Who else did 25%? Nobody unless they went out of business completely. Adjusting capacity is part of business as usual to ride the fluctuations created by the economy. But ride it by more than 5-10% of adjustments is just PLAIN **** POOR PLANNING. Or rather the complete lack of planning. 25% is a huge, last minute, desperate move. It indicates a major error in judgement. So yes! I do hold whoever is running the place responsible for that. It did F up my life quite neatly whereas a 5-10% furlough, what I have expected, would have not done that. 25%, to me, suggests that someone made some decisions, or delayed making some decisions, until NK almost got out of business. It may not be BBB and/or the business model necessarily, but still there was a major snafu somewhere.
