> The company was running out of runway, we just hadnt been told yet.
At least your CEO didn't dump all the bad news and resulting anxiety directly on the team. Good job, it's exactly what he's paid for.

- golergka 3y agoThat sounds like the right thing to do. If you have to do layoffs, it's better to do them all at once and then tell everyone how much runway you have left. Doing several smaller once, making everybody unsure of the future and afraid for their jobs is much worse.
