In Bay Area just had to lay people off because it's been so slow for a long time pretty much starting after Trump became president. So it's been going on for awhile. She has worked there 23 yrs so knows what sales are like and this has been one of the lowest times for new cars , selling more used cars.

She hates laying anyone off and put off as long as she could warned people way ahead of time if they wanted to look for another job.
