Good morning. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value of compassion in leadership. Meta began laying off 5% of its workforce yesterday, some 3,600 people. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the goal is to “move out low-performers faster.” Salesforce is also laying off staff, as are other companies. Most are citing AI or restructuring as the rationale for cutting jobs.
