Employee B will be put in a "it's time to train your replacement" scenario and will be let go. Employee B would have probably been dealt with way before layoffs, as well. Relying on an oracle is a roadblock that will have, at the very least, annoyed anyone who had to work with them. That oracle is an easily recognizable bottleneck. No one is safe from layoffs.
