There was a whole host of reasons why people were fired. Management layers were eliminated. Others were on a list as problematic, and a mass layoff cycle is is a good way to give Mgmt and HR litigation cover. There were also superstars who were laid off. One guy who had a major hand in developing our publishing system was laid off. I was talking to an engineer who was struggling to pick his brain (30 years of experience) in 2 days.
Unless you’ve taking a look at the 3,000 employee profiles you’re just spouting off.
