'office with jobs on the line' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'decision related to penny-pinching?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'decision' could be 'call' (call is a kind of decision) and 'call' is present in the answer.
'penny' could be 'cent' (synonyms) and 'cent' is found in the answer.
'related to' could be 're' (abbreviation for 'regarding') and 're' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
