You think all these tech layoffs are sorting by performance and slicing that way? Ignoring the fact that performance measurements are barely possible at a granular level to allow such an ordering One could argue about job perf making no difference in union shops (as if people don’t have some pride in their work since they’re spending a third of their life there and the vast majority of people are not trying to work in bad faith) but I think the implicit idea that non-union places have more than the most fat fingered and office politics dependent perf rivals is something to think about. We all know the coasting founder and the absentee manager I think that during layoffs in a union shop at least management has to think a lot harder about cuts, and how to do them.
