The benefits of being leaner include, having to pay less workers. = making more money.
But what are the consequences of less workers?

Countable things are fewer.
If I have 50 grams of water and pour 20 grams out. Do I have less water or fewer water?
Less water, fewer grams of water.
So it’s just semantics?
Then they have less workforce? I’m not sure that is correct but I am curious what the correct phrasing is if not.
There is a tipping point where a company starts losing revenue because of having too little employees to support the needs. The main issue in the past few years is many over-hired.

More stressed workers, which isn’t something they give 2 shits about. :/

exactly. They would rather work individuals to extremes, then pay for more workers.

When they laid off 3/4ths of my team it reduced my stress. I realized that since the company doesn’t give a shit about what we were working on, why should I?
Let the chips fall where they may, I am now remotely working for a company and planning my own business.
Also I wish I had gotten laid off so I could get the severance.
