Such a poor plan. Dropping this in a Q&A means that nothing else said will be remembered. It's also being implemented in a completely asinine way: "individual teams will sort out how to handle headcount changes". Take no culpability for anything, and ensure that the confusion and anger targets the bottom-most level of management. What a classy move!
I'm sure that senior leadership will also be held accountable for the over-hiring they mandated and their teams will be among the first to reduce headcount \s
