I guess that beats doing Pulse Check surveys.

I mean obviously there are internal problems if that many people are disengaged to the point of needing to be let go, but after reading the letter, if the company follows through on helping everyone find a new job, it could have been worse?

Exactly. If 150 employees are not productive I hesitate to conclude that that's entirely the fault of the employees. Maybe it's not that those people are wholly unproductive, rather that they're culling the worst ones as a weird way of boosting productivity (also scares the others into working harder, I guess)
