“Trimming the fat”

My employer is doing that thing where they lower the headcount in order to decrease the bottom line for the benefit of shareholders. We’re a successful and highly profitable business and the workload has not decreased – quite the opposite – they’re just wanting the remaining staff to do more with less. We’re closed on Saturday but I just checked my emails (yeah I know) and there are several colleagues doing work in their own time just to catch up and keep on top of their workload. It’s so depressing to see good people treated like this, just so the people at the top can hoard more of the wealth. Stop the world I want to get off.
