rmember, for those older people you see leave, at first it was low performers getting the boot. now managers are needing to choose someone whilst not feeling like they have low performers. private conversations will take place, older people are more likely to take the payout.. because their payout will be higher, and its something closer to early retirement than a younger person. its easy to look at this doing the right thing and assume ageism.

There are less women in general in Tech and at Dell. My org has 180 folks and only 10 are women, it is expected that more men are let go in terms of absolute numbers. 5% of 10 women less than 1 and 5% of 170 is between 8 and 9.
