Fire 10% of the workforce. At every company/firm/organization I've ever worked at, a bare minimum of 1 in 10 add nothing.

At some places, the inverse is true: 90% can be made redundant.

If I took over a company, I'd liquidate it, and leave with the $$$

Didn't know that was a Welchism, but what can I say? Great mind grapes think alike.

This is really, really bad idea unless she willingly puts out with not expectations of gifts, promotion or wedding ring.

If I take over a company that is doing badly, it is better to liquidate it.

If I take over a good company, I'd probably do nothing.
