Episode notes

Cody: The default is, oh, will it just get rid of an entire department or division. He says that's the wrong start to a conversation about laying off employees. Cody: You don't know who your top performers are and your top cultural fits along the way. Then when you come to lay people off, it's a crapshoot, he says.
