Companies are dismantling themselves for one more good quarter

Any example of this?

What do you think laying off your workforce does? These are the people who produce the things that make money

For a clear cut example, Microsoft and gaming. They lay off entire studios the moment they release a hit

It costs like 18 months+ of salary to replace a role like that, and you'll have to pay them more. It'll make you a bit more money next quarter... But in 2-5 years when there's no new game?
