Advice to Senior Management

Change. Don't simply change things, you already do that but legitimately change the way you approach the market and how you execute your business. There's still opportunity in the space, and good jobs to salvage for many people.

Stop trying to manufacture a culture, all that did was kill the existing one and turn the place into a shell of itself. At least fear used to be a motivator, now its merely a reason to turtle up and hide.

Get rid of the dead weight. At one time there was very little.
