To be honest, cutting costs sounds easy in theory but hard to implement in practice. One misstep and you could sever the growth trajectory.

ngl this holiday season really separates the wheat from the chaff. Some companies are still burning money like they're sleepwalking, while others have already started tightening their belts... the gap is getting more and more obvious.

To be honest, CFOs are all tightening their belts these days, so why does it feel like we're just digging a hole for ourselves?

To be honest, these CFOs talk a good game, but when it really comes down to a crisis, they still end up cutting headcount and slashing R&D. What balance are they talking about? It doesn’t exist at all...

NGL, this round is really intense. Cutting costs to the point where even vendors have to be renegotiated... But honestly, it all comes down to who can hold out the longest.

To be honest, any company still thinking about growth at times like this must be crazy. Right now, survival is the priority—cut costs to the absolute minimum first.

NGL, these days CFOs are all slashing costs like crazy, but the ones who truly survive are those who were prepared long ago... The fact that consumers are being stingy should have been obvious a while ago.
