Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 329 Necessary Sacrifices

"They can be excellent. The problem is they don't have the desire to be excellent in their work. Many of them don't set a high standard for themselves,"

Jacob said. He already knew how this meeting would end. He wished he could just end it immediately.

"I think this discussion is going nowhere. You already made your plans. There's no need to further stretch this meeting," Jonathan added, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at Jacob.

Jacob smiled in return, but did not reply. Jonathan was accurate in his observation. He was right that the meeting was just Jacob's cover-up.

He had already decided what to do.

"What's your suggestion, Mr. Jacob?" asked an old director. There was reluctance in his voice, as well as confidence. His respect towards the company's young leader was evident.

Jacob established a reputation in the past few years. People in the company either respected him or were afraid of him.

Directors would pay attention to his every move. Even a slight cough from him would elicit a reaction from the board members. And this meeting was turning out to be very serious.

Everyone in the room knew the solution to the company's problem would not be simple.

"We need to reduce the staff and lay off some people," Jacob uttered in a low voice. Even Cindy was surprised when she heard him.

The room burst into an uproar. Directors were talking all at once. Each one aired their opinion and disapproval. Mass lay-off was unheard of in the Shi Group. Nobody suspected it was the agenda for today's meeting.

The Shi Group was a huge and prolific company. They didn't think it is necessary to fire people when they could still pay them.

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate, Mr. Jacob."

"It will be difficult for people to find jobs once they are laid off."
