Do you really believe that a company would lay off a 15 year employee over something that didn't matter if they were otherwise doing their job? Oh, yes. "The company" is going to be a different set of people every year. Loyalty means jack shit. Unless your having been there for 15 years is an asset that makes them want to keep you there, you got nothing. Of course I don't know the true facts but it seems that if companies simply laid off employees for arbitrary reasons that wouldn't be to their benefit, right? "Companies" don't fire people. People make that decision, and often for really terrible reasons that have nothing to do with job performance.
