(fyi — Firefox reader mode works) > Companies that relied on a “last hired, first fired” approach to layoffs for example, lost nearly 19% of their share of white women in management and 14% of their share of Asian men, according to report which was published in the Harvard Business Review. So this is a good point. Especially if a company made a ton of recent strides in advertising hiring in disadvantaged communities, cuts based on recency of employment would largely unwind a lot of that progress. And I expect randomizing it risks cutting employees the company actually wants to keep. I hope twilio publishes their method e.g with HBR later on. It'll either be a good example to learn from and/or fodder for misguided lawsuits, but I hope we get to see their solution to the problem.
