Jason good luck to you and the folks at Mahalo. I was there in 91and restructured a business (with revenue and substantial margin) to hit the breakeven ahead of the recession curve.
We won and those that we laid off were strong and went on, many stronger than they were before, You can't fuck around with this or you end up with the death of a thousand cuts.
Work out what your cost base has to be, work out what has to be done and the best team that you have (not necessarily the most senior or fun to be with) to get that job done and for sure stay avoid the potential sob stories and get on with it. The quicker the faster ther better.
We came out the other side bigger better and stronger.
The world is not coming to an end. If what you do is truly valuable you will survive this trial by ordeal.
Be honest with your investors and creditors they need to share in both the up and down. side.
By all means renegotiate that lease and the option program but most of all stop navel gazing and get back on with the the business that you have a mandate to deliver.

This entire episode is just a PR stunt, Jason's SEO play needs clicks to survive

I've noticed that NO ONE is asking him to keep the Team together because they love and need the service
