翻译这一段
None of this is easy territory. Lay-offs are bound to leave scars. But managing the fallout is simpler if the employees who are left behind still trust their bosses to get the big things right. Many of the memos being fired off by tech leaders contain apologetic admissions that they expanded their workforces too fast as a result of the pandemic. The honesty is necessary but it can plant another doubt in survivors’ minds: if they can foul up once, why not again?
这三件事在裁员时都不容易做好。裁员必然会留下伤疤。然而，如果剩下的员工仍然相信他们的老板会做得很好，那么处理后果就简单多了。许多科技领导者的解雇所有的备忘录都含有道歉承认，因为疫情他们的员工扩张得太快了。这种诚实是必要的，但它会在幸存者心中埋下另一个问题：如果他们能搞砸一次，为什么不能再搞砸一次？
