I doubt that’s the case. The people deciding to lay off are just getting rid of 6% of their ‘resources’, they don’t consider that those 6% might be doing 50% of the work.

So 3 years on they’re just wondering why their engineering team is so useless, and thinking back to the good old times.

1. My comment was on managing churn rate, not layoffs.

2. My comment described a process in which talented engineers self select to leave companies, and management only had indirect input on which engineers leave.

I think you’re spot on. Elves and whatnot.
