Hence management taking a bigger cut.

Some solutions to this include furlough rather that straight cuts. Those do reduce some infrastructure costs. I can’t reduce service staff and contract work at all if everyone is working 40 hours a week still. We use the same toilet paper, water, electricity, other consumables and depreciating equipment. A saw blade cuts X feet of metal. But I can trim if everyone is working 37 hours.
