Having a 7% unregretted attribution target is pretty different than a 7% layoff. Many (most?) of the folks who make up that 7% leave on their own, because both the employee and the company are on the same page that it isn't working out.

A 7% layoff affects some people who are good employees, did nothing wrong, and are safe from a PIP -- but their position just no longer makes sense for the company to keep.
