Rovio has confirmed that 110 people will lose their jobs as the Angry Birds maker also shuts down its game-development studio in Tampere. The layoffs, first announced in October, amount to about 14 percent of the company's workforce.
It had been expected that Rovio would make 130 people redundant but after a round of consultations this number has now been reduced. Rovio said that as a result of the redundancies "several positions" have been opened for internal applications. The actual number of employees out of work will depend on how many new internal positions are filled.

This is not that simple.
What should the business owner do?
How much should he lose before he has to lower his expenses?
Should he wait until the business is bankrupt and all the employees lose their jobs?
I say this not as a business owner but as an employee.

Profit sharing? stock options?

I don't know it they got them, or not.
Do you?
If so, enlighten us.
In the company I work for (which is a private company), when we have a very good year, we get a bonus of one months salary at the end of the year. This has happened twice in the last seven years.
