>Lawyers are involved from the very beginning of a layoff. They make the template. Right, I guess I meant that lawyers don't (or maybe, didn't) become a concern until someone was disgruntled enough to make spurious legal claims. They're involved now as a preventative measure, which I acknowledge in other comments, but what I'm saying is that if people were able to take a list of infractions in stride and improve on them, companies would be much less worried about the potential legal liability incurred by given honest feedback to employees.
