What Could Go Wrong?
In March 2009, my colleagues and I anxiously waited for our managing partner to begin the meeting. 10% of our office had been laid off this week, adding to the 10% laid off the previous month and the 15% laid off a few months before. Since the financial crisis had started, our office had shrunk by 45%.
Finally, the managing arrived, confidently looked at us and gave a speech I will never forget.
