It depends on the relative value of experience/skill to your team.
If your team is "throw juniors into the enterprise boilerplate coal mine" and you expect talent to eventually quit, then laying people off might be the right move.
If your team is "highly skilled devs try to invent new products", then you should focus on shipping more.

Gotta fire everyone, or else "too many cooks" will mean that even those temporary productivity gains go up in smoke.
Remember sometimes the most productive thing to have is not money or people but time with your ideas.
What's so sad to see is people excited about making something selling away the time they would have with their ideas. They're paying money to not use their brain to contemplate the thing they should be the foremost expert in the world on, and they're excited to be paying more and more for each modicum of ignorance and mediocrity dispensed.
