[Game] Time for Cutbacks!
Can you identify which activities have “impact” for the business?
Last week Meta Facebook* announced it would lay off 10,000 workers after somehow not making enough money.
In unrelated news, no one wants to wear a face camera to attend status meetings, which is why Facebook lost $13.7 billion on Miiverse tech.
If you’re worried about your own company realizing now’s the time to cut costs and ensure executive bonuses, good news! We’ve created a simple quiz to help you know whether you’re at risk.
Answer Key:
- Anything besides Finance: Sorry, that’s wrong! Because these activities are focused on long-term business growth, these activities only impact stakeholders when they aren’t panicked about quarterly returns! Unless it produces dividends within the next 90 days, it’s a liability. Better get that resume updated!
- Finance: You’re right! For some reason, the finance team never designates the finance team as a low-impact activity eligible for layoffs. Weird how that works!
