> There is the question of if layoffs saved the company enough to save itself or improve?

They at least secured management a final big bonus for dealing with that, so management and shareholders cash in a bit on the way down.

If the layoffs are taking a company which could be stably growing to one which is going downhill - in that case the execs actually hurting their long term compensation.

But i get it, it's like junk food for execs, easy to do, crisp in the action (even if not in the effects). But consumed carelessly its bad for company health
