To have stopped recruiting as soon as the first layoff plan (which was developed at least 3 months ago, repeatedly workshopped, and run by the board) was built.

To have stopped recruiting as soon as the first layoff plan (which was developed at least 3 months ago, repeatedly workshopped, and run by the board) was built. Also, give people more lead. 4 months salary is fine, but if you're on a visa, you're still pretty fucked. December 7 to Jan 5 is dead for recruiting, so realistically, you have < 30 days in which to find a new gig.
