> Managers at all levels should form lists of employees to let go if better or harder-working talent becomes available, says Jay McDonald, an executive coach who sits on the board of several Atlanta-area companies.

What a tone deaf statement. Conveniently Jay McDonald defines "better or harder-working talent" as people who are willing to perform additional labor for free.

I am by no means an "Eat the rich" kind of person...but I sure do understand why that sentiment is getting more popular when "executive coaches who sit on the board of several companies" have the balls to make a statement like this, especially now, given the current economic issues we're facing.

This guy is so out of touch it's laughable. These people have never been close to missing rent. Or eating bread for dinner because that's all you can afford. It really does show

It's gnarly to see the stark contrast in lives being lived between wealthy/normal people.

If you make 100k you are still a nobody to these people. What weird times we're living in..
