this seems like a pretty terrible way to do a layoff. announce on a Thursday "25% of you will be laid off" but wait until some unspecified time next week for the actual notifications?
this is going to cause a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety among the 75% who are staying. if I was in that group, it would not boost my confidence in the company's leadership.
Fewer layers means faster decisions. Flatter is better, and our new structure will optimize for this."
