Depends on the intent. I don't know Flexport's situation, so I can't say this is what happened. But, it's pretty common to parachute in outsiders to do the terrible things you want to do (layoffs, big policy changes, etc) that you know will have an adverse effect on morale. Then, once it's done, you boot the outsiders and commiserate with the masses..."yeah, sorry, clearly that was a bad idea".
