If the 50% represent some mid and higher up folks, it could really cripple a company.

I've yet to see a company that couldn't lose 50% or more of its mid-to-higher level management without serious consequence. Start with people who are somehow related to current or former company members, and it's a really great start.

Now, a company losing more than 10% of its grunts who make the things the company sells, that'll kill it.
