""Peacetime left us in March of 2020. The new world is now ambiguous, uncertain, and discontinuous ... The world is hours, minutes and seconds, not quarters and years, and I don't see that changing.""

In this context, the value of personnel may diminish, reflecting the harsh realities of survival in a competitive landscape.
