My firm lays off 10% of our employees as we're preparing for Tax Season

Profit before even the success of the business.

How do you expect to have a successful tax season if you don't have enough accountants to handle client volume?

Because CPAs are beaten dogs conditioned to just put in more hours to get things done. Especially if it's January-April. It's literally part of the culture.

It's absolutely not a good long term strategy as people will eventually quit, but short-term it's effective. Especially if they actually wanted more than a 10% layoff.
