Plot:
When the publicly held shipbuilding (Links to an external site.) corporation Global Transportation Systems, or GTX, is downsized many employees are fired. Chief Financial Officer Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones (Links to an external site.)) challenges GTX CEO James Salinger (Craig T. Nelson (Links to an external site.))’s strategy of employee cutbacks and questions the ethics of spending money to build new corporate headquarters while laying off employees. Salinger asserts that the deep cuts are necessary to increase profits, to increase the stock price and discourage a rumored hostile takeover of the company.
Later, it is determined that an additional round of lay-offs is necessary. Senior manager Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper (Links to an external site.)), who, over the course of 30 years, had risen from the factory floor to the corporate offices) is also fired. When McClary demands that senior HR (Links to an external site.) manager Sally Wilcox (Maria Bello (Links to an external site.)) rehire Woodward immediately, she tells him that he, too, is being fired.
