rare L take from aftermath i get that this is an attempt to show empathy and care for the workers by pushing back against callous layoffs. it’s admirable but the take itself encourages irresponsible behaviour that increases suffering of those same workers think through what actually happens

layoffs are a scourge plaguing our industry but damn would i rather hear it from my manager who can answer all my questions than enter a state of panic while the entire org scrambles and no-one knows anything this feels like an attempt to hit back that only hurts the ones it’s supposed to protect

idk, this is assuming you have a good manager who is able and willing to answer questions honestly. Many layoffs are just you go into a seemingly regular meeting, have the news dumped on you, and your computer immediately wiped remotely. The leak lets workers prepare against that.
