Reframe a Layoff Announcement Without Losing the Truth

You have to tell a team that people are losing their jobs, and the draft in front of you is full of phrases like right sizing that everyone will see through instantly. This rewrites the announcement so it stays honest and clear, names what is happening plainly, and still sounds like a person wrote it.

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.

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