How exactly is this not just people being fired? I understand they get severance so that's nice for employees, but what's the goal of doing it this way from the companies perspective?
- phamilton 10y agoGet it all done at once.
- burkaman 10y agoMany states make it illegal to fire some or all types of employees without cause.
- jdavis703 10y agoA firing usually means the employee did something wrong, such as harassing a co-worker, stealing money, or violating critical policies. A layoff means simply that your services are no longer needed, and that's it.
- dawnerd 10y agoIn addition being fired looks really bad. Being laid off not so much (if at all).
- sbuttgereit 10y agoThere can be legal differences as well as some of the reasons mentioned by others already.
