What percentage (roughly) of employees does this affect? A 10% reduction is different to a 50% reduction.

Is the need for lay-off simply related to revenue or are you eliminating a whole category of work (e.g. outsourcing)?

Being told that 'we just don't do that work any more' is perhaps less disruptive to other parts of the organisation.

A cut for revenue reasons will obviously raise issues about the competence of management and so your high-fliers will be arranging to leave.
