And so now I keep my people on board and they get paid and everybody still has a job.
It's sustainable.
You know, you build, you work so hard as a company to build a team around you that does what they're supposed to do.
Shh.
that buys in, that understands company culture, that steps in.
Everybody works together.
People are willing to help from department to department.
Nobody's stopping and saying, well, that's their department.
You work so hard for that.
And then when the economy becomes something where you have to lay off, you're almost starting over because you're never going to get the people back.
That's the problem.
So in this particular case, I don't have to worry about that because everybody's still there.
Everybody's still working and you're not retraining people constantly, which most companies do.
Look at the tech companies, 3,000 people here, 5,000 people there.
But now you're never going to get those people back.
When they have to go rehire, what did Google just lay off, 3,000 or 5,000 people?
When they get to go have to pull those people back, they're not pulling the same people.
So now there's a sense of retraining that has to happen, company culture.
And I think it's more difficult.
I mean, that's why they have a, most of those companies have in-house headhunters who are just constantly hiring, hiring, hiring.
