Not sure I agree.

Of the two places I've worked, the one who was hiding the metrics ended up having great financials and selling.

The other said they had to do layoffs but would be fine until X years later. A few months later they laid off another round of employees.

It's better to say nothing than it is to mislead or say something wrong, but best of all would be if they had been honest. I don't think that sounds like a disagreement.

Well, perhaps the issue is, how do I know whether I should trust what I am being told? So it puts you back in the same position anyway.
