I mean, once people finish the work that needs to be done, and if there isn't any more work to be done... those people get let go.
Not sure what you think the alternative is? Or how else to word it? People generally prefer honesty.
Except , companies tend to hire and fire rather periodically which is a huge waste in terms of "lead time" (it takes an employee x months to be productive) not to mention demoralizing to employees. The alternative seems to be to have better planning or a decent enough roadmap rather than cater to the whims of Wall St ?
