You know what else leads to the most talented people to leave?

When the company stops listening to the employees.

Keeping deadweights leads to most talented people leaving.

Yeah, there should be a process where people are evaluated by their peers to measure their performance and impact. The input from people who have demonstrated high impact should weigh more heavily.

Oh wait, Google already has that. If that's not working well, that's its own problem. These layoffs were somewhat indiscriminate, with high-performing people getting fired.

The layoffs have not really been for performance. They aren't dropping deadweights.
