Agreed, this criteria and execution of the layoffs were widely criticized throughout the company, points #2 and #3 were a major source of tension between workers and management in the following months. If anything I assume that due to the sheer amount of folks that were laid off (around 10,000), and the fact that layoffs affected every business unit, a truly effective way of executing the layoff was close to impossible.
