    Hypothetically, if you were going to conducts layoffs using an algorithm, wouldn't you want to use job performance as an input?pic.twitter.com/9TYyUOaJKT

        In theory, if the layoffs are a "reduction in force" they are supposed to ignore individual performance (never happens of course)

        Assuming you have a system that's actually meaningfully measuring job performance---a big assumption by that point.

        Job perf would be request to version control (LOC) divided by tickets number

        @miah_ Unions like the rule; last hired, first laid off & it doesn't mark the next job hunt by not being performance related

        I remember the word on the street was, some high-performers were getting laid off, and getting hired back weeks after.

        ummmm and they actually took the rehire jobs? Seems like some people would have a bad taste in their mouth.

        Isn’t that where those low performers who get pink slips sue because they hadn’t been given opportunity to improve? Hence ‘random’?

        this was the reason unofficially given by management in a "non-performance" round of layoffs at a company I worked at.

        one argument against this would be that I'd rather get fired for business than for performance reasons.
