But trained employees are too valuable to lose and if you fire them, there's no guarantee you'll be able to get them back when your business picks up; they may have moved elsewhere.

但是训练有素的员工是如此宝贵而不能丢弃的企业财富，假如你轻易炒了他们鱿鱼将无法保证在企业形势好转时能重新雇佣他们。他们已经很可能在别处高就。

And if you just turn around and automatically fire back, you may be starting an accidental war.

如果你只是转向自动回击，那么你可能会引发一场意外的战斗。
