There's no logic in the decision to reduce staff when orders are the highest they have been for years.
What's "they" in this sentence.
The stuff or orders.
And could rephrase the sentence please.

They refers to the orders. What is being said is that it does not make business sense to cut costs by reducing staff when the business is receiving the highest flow of orders compared to previous years.
