PSA: my boss cut our team from 8 people to 3 and called it 'doing more with less'
Six months ago our marketing team had 8 people handling a $2M ad budget, and by March we were down to 3 of us doing the same work. My boss told us the layoffs were 'a chance to prove we could run lean,' but our campaign returns dropped 40% in 8 weeks because we couldn't keep up. Was this a smart business move or is he just covering for a bad revenue call he made?
