Write the layoff communications a leader has to get right once — the all-hands script, the affected/unaffected messages, and the external note, without corporate euphemism or legal risk. Use when asked to write a layoff announcement, communicate a RIF, tell the team about job cuts, or draft the difficult all-hands. Produces the full comms set: leader script, same-hour messages for affected and remaining staff, manager talking points, and the external statement — sequenced.

# Layoff Announcement Skill

Layoff communications are read three ways at once: by the people losing their jobs, by the people keeping them, and — later — by lawyers and journalists. This skill writes the set that survives all three readings: direct about the decision, generous about the people, precise about the logistics, and free of the euphemisms ("right-sizing," "streamlining our journey") that insult everyone equally.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The leader's all-hands script** — the decision, the reason, the ownership, the logistics
- **The affected-employee message** — what happens next, with every date and contact
- **The remaining-team message** — honest about the gap between relief and grief
- **Manager talking points + FAQ** — for the conversations after the meeting
- **The external/press statement** — two paragraphs, no spin
