Why is it better to lay people off than to just put that labor on something more profitable? If labor isn't productive that's not a labor issue, thats a managem

Why is it better to lay people off than to just put that labor on something more profitable? If labor isn't productive that's not a labor issue, thats a management issue from them mismanaging their labor. It's a shame these workers have to suffer from being mismanaged.

Some startups (or projects) just fail and it has nothing to do with the talent. You gotta take bets on new products/markets and sometimes they don't pan out. Sometimes it's just a market issue. There's not always a way to know if it was going to fail beforehand either. If we want innovation, then unfortunately I think these types of sh*tshows are part of the deal, although a 17,000 layoff is pretty gnarly.
