That really depends on the distribution of the layoffs.

The 10-15% percent aren't necessarily all bad performers but might just be people working on teams that are to be disbanded entirely.

Yeah, if it is mandated "all teams cut 10%" it can be disaster.

Team that managed to hire good people and fire bad performers already ? You're basically taking productivity out.

Ops team that every other software team is dependent on and already overloaded ? Now every other team will feel delay in dealing with their stuff.
