Cutting more senior people would be a disaster. Projects piling up would struggle without anyone who actually knows the ropes. Fixing it later would take forever and probably cost a lot more than keeping them around now. Why is that so hard to grasp for this leadership?

I hear you! The way that FIS does the RIFs is really awful. You’ll be on a project and go to a meeting only to find that the meeting organizer was let go.
We’ve already lost several experienced people, replaced by inexperienced and untrained offshore people. One project was a disaster, client facing; the project team had zero idea of any impact. They just go through their checklists with no knowledge of the products. The experienced people that were laid off, would have definitely handled the project 100% better. The majority of managers we have now only care if they would be held responsible, otherwise, don’t bother them.
They don't care. because of the internal choas, clients will leave or won't buy. employees need to go to try to outrun revenue losses
They don't care. They are hiring up SRE's to keep the lights on, and active hiring going on now. Check careers page. They will be filling active roles then off-shore SRE roles. They'll do damage control, then keep the lights on, after gutting and consolidating. Prepare for more selling of the company off, mergers, and acquisition.
The bean counters don't care about what you know, they care about what you cost.
