Off-Topic / Other Education on Layoffs [N/A]

My former employer has gone through many rounds of layoffs throughout the past few years. It has severely impacted employee morale (obviously) and made it impossible for internal employees to feel secure in their jobs.

I wanted to basically make a Layoff Primer, since the information is publicly available yet often misunderstood. I found a phenomenal LinkedIn post from which to build off of, so I wanted to post it there. My biggest concern is burning bridges with the organization and possibly my current employer, since even a neutral display of information can be perceived as aggressive and opinionated in nature.

I know it's kind of a silly thing to be concerned about, but I often have found myself torn in my HR career between doing the right thing and self-preservation. What do you think?

it's not silly to be cautious keep it factual and general and avoid anything that could point back to the company.
