We were predicted to go bankrupt………we didn’t. We started at the top with myself and my direct reports. No bonus meant a 50% cut in income and base pay cut of 15%. I told our employees that didn’t get laid off or terminated it was going to be tough on everyone that stayed because they had to absorb the work load of the people released which meant longer hours and do it for less money. It also meant myself and the other leaders had to do it while smiling and reassuring everyone we were going to make it through this economic crisis. For the first 2-3 months when it came time for payroll each Thursday, I was stressed beyond belief with worry about whether we would have enough money to cover everyone’s checks. We lead the turnaround by taking these cuts and by taking $50 million out of working capital. Finally I could keep my coffee down that I’d drink on the way to work each Thursday-payday. The employees were simply amazing and supportive during this grueling period of time, if not for them this could have been the end of the story
