50% is a huge number. If the 50% represent some mid and higher up folks, it could really cripple a company. The worst thing they could do is give in. If the workers stand strong, no company is going to survive with half their staff getting laid off because of this.

My last company has about 45 employees. 5 of the highest skilled employees left after Covid and it absolutely knocked us on our ass.

Make no mistake, even losing a few key people can end a company.
