Sales positions
When your company is floundering and not enough people are buying your products, it's always a good move to sack the sales staff.......
Cutting investment in R+D and engineering would also be a good idea.
Both moves will make next years figures look really, really good, but try not to think 2-3 years into the future. You can always cross that bridge when you come to it.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
