On: Bombardier to Cut 7,500 More Jobs Through 2018, Mo...

[asimuvPR]

Firing people has an exponential effect.

[paulddraper → asimuvPR]

I believe it has a long-reaching effect, but not "exponential", at least not along any axis I know of.

Does firing 1000 people have a more than 2x effect than firing 500?

Unless by exponential, you just mean "a lot".

[gaur → asimuvPR]

Whatever that means.

[asimuvPR → gaur]

It means that when you fire one person it affects many more. When you fire 7,500 there are thousands more affected.

[gaur → asimuvPR]

Still uselessly vague. Who is affected? How are they affected? How did you determine the effect is exponential as opposed to, say, logarithmic or linear?
