It's not really a great move, because anyone left who is decent is probably going to jump ship due to uncertainty in how the company is going. Simply keeping tabs on the people in the first place, and firing the non-performing ones is a much better way to go. Not to mention that, when it comes to layoffs like this, it's not always performance that gets looked at. It's just as likely that people making a lot of money, deserved or not, will be laid off, and someone who is less talented or hard working, but cheaper to the company, will be kept.
