Disgusting and disgustable.

But everybody else says just stay clear.

This stuff is high stakes for you to touch.

No.

His point is really all of us need to get in there and find a way to make this stuff discussable.

So that we right-size it.

And it's not to feel good.

No.

This is a hardcore variable that defines high performance.

So now, Frances, I want to throw out a couple other things to think about.

If you're the one who has the ball in this complicated moment—

One, I want to talk for a second about the employee value proposition, because you may be in a situation where you can't offer stability or security.

It may be a fast-moving situation.

You may not be able to guarantee that there won't be layoffs again.

But I think there's an interesting question about what can you offer in those moments.

When I've seen people do this really well, it's an opportunity to have a clear adult-to-adult conversation with the people around you that is roughly, I am not going to protect you from the truth here.

I can't make any guarantees.

But if you stay...

Right.

And if we figure this out together, we are building a future where you will have a place.
