Tongue-in-Cheek response to "Battling Parkinson's Law"

I received a message from a friend in response to the article in CMAJ - Battling Parkinson's Law. This person said...'I used to think a lot about Parkinson's Law when it came time to lay people off. It was amazing how the work still got done with less people.' Pretty interesting perspective with all that's going on today. Maybe this speaks to the need for stretch goals to boost our performance?
