Goldman Sachs planning of job cuts.

Apparently a huge Goldman Sachs layoff is about to come soon. The company has taken a huge cost reduction target https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11581161/Goldman-Sachs-CEO-David-Solomon-warns-mass-layoffs-just-weeks-away.html

As of now 10 members laid off in consumer banking division in Hyderabad.

They've hired Boston Consulting Group to help them carry out their plan. The plan is to cut atleast 10% in major units. The project is termed Project Bora Bora. They will be eliminating regional managers, co-heads and other employees with overlapping responsibilities. Chief of staffs and chief administrative officers will be cut this month. Operations staff who aided divisions that have been divested or reorganized are also at higher risk of layoffs.

Goldman Sachs laying off a big chunk of their workforce, about 4000!

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps". When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish. The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees. My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously
