Reframe a Layoff Announcement Without Losing the Truth

Rewrite the layoff announcement below so it stays honest about what is happening and why, but reads as clear and human rather than corporate or evasive. Do not use euphemisms that hide what is actually happening (avoid phrases like right sizing or letting go in place of clearer language), and do not overexplain or over apologise to the point that it sounds defensive. State what is changing, why, what support is being offered, and what happens next.

Draft or notes to work from: [paste your draft or bullet points here]

Keep it under 250 words and suitable to read aloud to a team.
