Growth <> Profit
Why are people hung up on growth?
Isn't it enough to be making a profit?
Even if growth falls it doesn't mean that the business isn't making a profit.
It makes me rather annoyed that people get laid off because the company isn't making quite as much money as they thought they would. People losing their jobs take quite a while to get back to where they were, and in the meantime aren't buying goods, so fears of a recession turn into a reality because of 'shareholders expectations' when the shareholders should know that they are not necessarily going to be getting any money in the first place.
If I had my way no redundancies would be allowed if the company was making a profit.
