It seems like all of the programmers interpret the business decision backwards. Doesn't the company want to eliminate the biggest cost center (greatest salary under $100k), not the smallest cost center (least salary over 35 years old)?
- rickyc091 14y agoHa, you'd think right? I think the reason the oldest, lowest salary employee was fired first was because he/she would have made the least contribution to the company. If that employee had done a great job, then he/she should technically have the highest salary.
- matwood 14y agoMaybe in a small company. In a company with any size the difference of 20k-30k isn't very much in the overall scheme of things. Generally what a company will do at that point is keep the more senior employees with the assumption that they know more and are more likely to keep things going with less help.
