Then why wouldn't they simply lay off the new hires instead of company veterans?

  A new hire is expected to be an average employee in a year. A veteran might have a track record of being a below-average employee for several years.

    That could often be the case. Although the Google veterans mentioned in the article seem to be examples of top performers that weren't just resting on their laurels. But I suppose there could have been other reasons they were let go that were not public, like company politics, etc.
