    I think the justification is that the white color jobs (things like r&d/engineering) can be more flexible in their deliverables. While physical product not being created is a quantifiable drop in revenue.

    It’s definitely hurts the company to do it, but as a temporary solution, it can be molded around. Keep in mind, those white collar employees are still collecting white collar paychecks.
