Very poignant point being made here about employee retention. Mass layoffs are a sledgehammer to institutional knowledge in companies, and retention and advancement of entire teams does the opposite.

A company literally cannot learn lessons from successes and failures. That's done by employees in the company. Lose the experience, and you have to start again.

Yeah. I also don’t see how one could stay motivated if one knows that they’re like to be let go once the current project is about wrapped up.
