A lot of people are being let go because they’re not very good at their jobs.
A lot of people are being let go because they’re great at their jobs but their employers have no idea what they do.
A lot of people are being laid off because employers are trying to preserve profits at a time they’re worried that demand will be cratering.

- danielrpa 3y agoA lot of people I saw being let go at my company weren't very good at their jobs - either because they were not capable or because they were not willing to do a lot of work - and leadership took the opportunity, in their eyes, to get rid of them. I'm not saying it was the biggest factor, but I wouldn't say it was "by far the smallest" based on my observations.
