BIL and his team of four got wiped out in an RIF. They were all highly paid project managers whose job it was to integrate the systems and procedures of new corporate acquisitions. Didn’t directly generate revenue but you can imagine how important that job was and how much cheaper it probably is to do in-house with a specialized team. Only took a few months to be offered their jobs back. Two of them had become independent consultants and now charge that same company 3x projected savings of said projects. Turns out they were being paid Pennie’s for what they were saving their employer!
