You don’t want to give your top talent a reason to look for another job.

Telling your top talent a layoff is coming, even if they feel “secure” in their role, still gives them a reason to look.

Let alone competitors now have a great pitch to your top talent - “do you want to risk getting laid off or join our awesome company”.

on the other hand, top talent is also likely to feel disrespected by having layoffs sprung on their team with no warning. It was a trigger for 3 of my job changes during my career, each time a "regretted attrition."
