A year and a half ago my company was set to expand its workforce by 25%. Since then we've gone through two rounds of layoffs totalling over 200 employees, closed two offices and consolidated two others. My department has slashed its third party service provider contracts to the bone. We've seen cutbacks on the discount certificates we're given to spend among our portfolio companies, and this year's holiday party will be a shadow of its former extravagant self.
Surprisingly, the coffee is still flowing.
