Layoffs and firings hurt stock price

Quite the opposite, stock prices generally soar after layoffs.

The severance packages show up as a line item on the quarterly report though, so if you can have some people quit then that can also be a good thing in the eyes of the executives.

The whole thing leaves a bad taste in your mouth for sure.
