No, just cutting people across the company tends to be bad. Restructuring aka cutting programs and the people working on them has fewer downsides.

- Retric 2y agoThere’s plenty of studies showing the downsides. It’s expensive, results in dramatic reductions in efficiency, etc. Widespread layoffs are a sign management has majorly fucked up.

- Retric 2y agoAsking who funded it is kind of meaningless when you’re talking thousands of studies, it’s one of those topics that’s quite interesting for everyone from economists to management consultants. COVID was a mix of turnover, furlough, and layoffs, but the layoffs were generally of the exact type I was referring to. Shutting down a restaurant’s dining service doesn’t get the same kind of pushback as a 15% cut across a division. The company isn’t trying to do the same stuff with fewer employees, it’s no longer serving those customers.

- Retric 2y agoSure the general consensus of experts is just like my opinion man. Numbers never lie, until they do.
