A comment on Ask HN: I'm going to have to lay people off, and want your advice.
Is the need for lay-off simply related to revenue or are you eliminating a whole category of work (e.g. outsourcing)?
Being told that 'we just don't do that work any more' is perhaps less disruptive to other parts of the organisation.
A cut for revenue reasons will obviously raise issues about the competence of management and so your high-fliers will be arranging to leave.
