A layoff is not considered being fired.

  It is not considered being fired by you ;) This particular layoff was a strategic decision - and a bad one too, they are now advertising in TV that Siemens is a good place for IT folks.

    The point is that the existence of layoffs does not rebut the claim that programmers cannot be fired (individually) in Austria.

      Or the claim that it's a financial burden. Layoffs involve expensive severance payments.
