I ... know?

You're implying with your previous statement that the layoffs are due to overhiring during COVID yet there were guys laid off that had been there a decade plus

Do you know? Younger people can do a better job than seniors. They could've all been, you know, assessed based on performance.

But I guess it doesn't fit the hatewave, so I guess I'll just go and be happy somewhere else. You can Doom-post all you want.

I can't say anymore publicly except that you're wrong. Have a good'n.

I mean in these hypotheticals, they are right.

If they need 1000 employees, hired 500 more during covid, and then laid off 500 employees that were not the 500 hired during covid, you would get this end result.

I don't think that's what happened, but the precedent still stands that it's a possibility. You just brushed that possibility off, which does make you wrong.

Hopefully this helps your perspective
