> what do you do if you realize a giant chunk of your workforce is not needed?

It’s not like the workforce just appeared out of nowhere. They were hired by the same management who is now firing them.

Ultimately society has to choose where it wants to be on the spectrum between difficult to hire and difficult to fire, and easy to hire and easy to fire (workers can also unionize to push things further towards the “difficult” end).

And what's your opinion then?

Teams and individual were hired for projects and roles that management doesn't now think will work. Keep everyone on-board indefinitely? Doing... what, exactly?

1 year's severance should be mandatory. And 1 year of identical healthcare coverage for free.
