The thing that doesn't make sense to me here is that layoffs are supposed to be about having too many employees rather than about having low-quality employees.

- triceratops 7y agoThat assumes employees are fungible. Which they are not, especially in tech roles. They may have too many employees in some departments and not enough in others. They may also need to replace people who quit of their own volition.
- daveFNbuck 7y agoA tech employee from another department should be able to get up to speed at least as quickly as an outside hire.
