Advice to Management
You ruined what used to be a great company. Your customers are catching on to this and leaving. The last round of letting 1000+ contractors go with no notice will make your customers leave even faster. Most of these contractors were let go with a few hours notice and their work was not turned over to anyone. Good luck fixing this mess.
