Won't that risk to actually start the recession though?

The people making the decisions don't care nor will they be affected by one in any meaningful way.

But they will earn less money, won’t they?

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

The company will, but from what I've seen the decision makers find ways to ensure they still get paid just as much or nearly as much, usually by laying people off and screwing over customers even more.

These companies are purely short term focused. They don't look to the long term and they don't care about the company's stability far into the future. It's all about hitting the next financial target no matter what.
