It's one thing to say, you're struggling, but you think you can make it without layoffs. Or another thing to say your financial models say for the next 90 days you're okay at the moment. Or you're trying to shift money around, or trying to increase revenue, or to say you're looking for funding...

If people invest their lives in your company (relocating, working overtime, etc), they deserve the honest truth about what's happening. Particularly in a world where there's a high demand for tech workers.

I think I may see the problem.

There's a reality you're living that must be quite different than the rest of the world.
What, you mean our system of corporate capitalism that still mostly requires relocating for a job, and incredibly strongly encourages working long hours to "prove yourself" and "get ahead" and whatnot?
Don't forget the part where medical care for your family is unaffordable unless you have employer provided insurance.
