M:You could retrain them or you can hire new workers.

F: I don’t want to lay off people, some of our employees have been working for us for 20 years.

M:That loyalty is hard to replace.

F: but it may be difficult to retrain these people.

M: true, it may be easier to find new ones.

F: there’s really a tradeoff here.
