Cynical but honest: I feel very little at this point because I’ve seen it happen so often. I don’t think agency leadership thinks layoffs detract from wins in any way. At the end of the day I don’t think they feel any genuine accountability to keeping people employed at all.
Bingo
Feel like it's less about time and more about how much they've addressed. Personally I don't want to hear about wins until I've gotten the post-mortem on why layoffs happened.
I feel like they have addressed why folks were let go: Lost contracts we thought would be renewing due to funding cuts.

I think you have agency leadership who don’t have a true strategy to prosper in the new world order of AI and Marcom. Their numbers tell them to cut headcount but they also know they have to maintain some sense of business normalcy to present a glimmer of employee morale hence the helter skelter nature of management actions. It will only get worse until they figure stuff out.
