Yep, layoffs tend to hurt culture and trust.

Some companies seem to thrive on regular culls in the name of operational efficiencies. All that happens is talent leaves the organisation and then those left behind struggle because expertise has gone.

It erodes good will and good will is something you can't win back.

By the time things look like they are normalising, in comes another cull!
