If the new CEO took over "days" ago, to what extent was this his decision? I'd think it would take weeks for a longtime CEO to cut this many roles, and a new CEO has to get up-to-speed on all aspects of the business before being able to do anything major. Perhaps he spent 6 months vetting the company during the courtship phase, and was planning this all during that time?
