Like, whenever I hear a company mention layoffs, I always feel I shouldn’t trust their aims. It won’t help their situation if they aren’t firing at full cylinders, it’s hard to turn around a sinking ship when you have so few crew to do so.
I agree with you, but generally the purpose is to get back to a small enough group that without that many moving parts you can seriously focus on the areas that still work to keep yourself alive while also rebuilding on the things you need help or want to pivot to. Ive seen it work in my company when i also had my doubts and its kind of crazy.

It’s hard to know if they’re laying off the good workers or the parasites that build up in big orgs.
