Absolutely no problem!!! And who will 'take' the other half?? 50% of some savings is better than 100% of Zero any day of the week where I come from!

And in any case, will they came for another half the year after that? And the one that?....

The fact that the payback period is <= 1 year (you actually make returns the first year - 2nd if you include retrenchment costs if any) makes it a no brainer!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Note I was not commenting about their advice which anybody with half a brain can tell HFCK. If you have ever worked with consultants you'll notice that they never tell you anything original, its just that they put what you tell them on a shiny presentation.
What they'll tell HFCK is something even can you Maichback can tell them. HFCK is paying for Mckinsey's label. Its a great gig.

PS: Check coop, kq, equity and many other examples.

It's always advisable to get an external boogeyman to take the fall before you fire employees.

Why did JM/Equity cash out instead of partial sale if indeed this is a gem? This move still remains a sticky puzzle to me. I think by year end we will have some clues.

Equity needed to raise equity for its mobile venture and fund its growth more generally since capital was/is thin
