Layoffs as they are done now, are scientifically proven to be unprofitable and IMO a symptom of the brain rot cause by, and fetishization, of 'tough decision making' and when I say scientifically proven, check out this segment from the really eye-opening write-up from HBR: hbr.org/2022/12/what...

The findings of two decades of profitability studies are equivocal: The majority of firms that conduct layoffs do not see improved profitability, whether measured by return on assets, return on equity, or return on sales. Layoffs are especially hard on the performance of companies with a high reliance on R&D, low capital intensity, and high growth. Market response to layoffs was also less positive than might be expected, with three-day share prices of firms conducting layoffs generally neutral. Higher valuations were given for layoffs perceived as helping firms in financial distress return to profitability as well as those that were strategic and forward-looking. Layoffs undertaken only for the purpose of reducing costs tended to lead to drops in share price.
