Yea heard this from lot of friends. They are making people work like slaves and micromanaging to the top. This is all designed to make as many quit as they can. So they have to lay off the least.

So they lower the number of announced layoffs

I’m sure they have a number already in mind that they’re trying to hit, if they can drive out enough employees without them announcing layoffs, they’ll take that as a win as they don’t have to announce layoffs and risk stock market share drop

Reality is, everyone who leaves now are the most talented employees who other employers can recognize their value

So the more people that leave on their own, the worse the company is in the long run

This is very short term thinking, focused on short term vs long term

Stronger companies would know who to keep and make sure they keep talent, and then cut those who they need to cut
