Honestly the “laying people off after launch” speaks volumes of the teams that do the same; can you not work multiple projects and shift people to the other one until it’s complete?
The layoffs seem more like “line must go up’” than any kind of “we can no longer afford you now the job is done”.
I really dislike the dishonesty. If you’re always going to lay-off/downsize/insert-capitalist-euphemism-here after each project is done then stop hiring people as staff and hire them as contractors instead. Make it clear from the start it’s not a permanent position.

I’m probably preaching to the choir.
This is literally always the case
Yeah, totally.

But that’s more expensive, as people demand 50-100% more salary as a contractor; Line must go up faster
Yup, exactly 👍
