> While layoffs are tough for everyone

That's the thing though, its not tough for everyone. Its only tough for the employee, the employer gets more money. Its not tough for them at all.

Having had to sack 90% of staff that worked for me at one point, I'd disagree and say that it is pretty tough on both sides.

That said, I meant it was tough on all employees, not just those fired, to be going through layoffs.

Paying people to work on stuff that doesn’t doesn’t generate value is also tough on the employer.
