Will they layoff temps first? And how do they decide who they will layoff first?

Don't forget the neanderthal women, the one with the apple shaped body, wide shoulders, flat butt & legs that rub together. Use to work with all the guys. Transferred from manufacturing to the big office, now works with the stiff neck suits (GIS)
They generally start with those who are still breastfeeding..
Second round includes those with skin tags and hair lips..
3 round would be the guys who have dickydoo dysplasia.. These are the guys who are always eating, always at the snack truck and their bellies sticks further out than their dickydoo..
In the end, theyre left with raisins and receeding hairlines.. And those guys, geez!!
Worthless
I have to say that although there may be some logic to reduction of workforce, at times there seems to be none. Therefore no one is immune, regardless of job duties, title or time with the company. Those who were eligible for early retirement were already offered a package. Those who turned it down are still at risk to be laid off. It seems obvious that assembly, manufacturing, etc. will be reduced given the reduction in orders to fill. Those currently working on existing orders, or backlog, are still busy and needed, but the amount of people in those jobs will still be reduced. You would think they would reduce middle management and unnecessary positions, along with non producers, however the minimum requirements by labor laws for ethnic groups etc. will keep some around who should otherwise be gone. You can blame the government for that!
Drug testing and irrational write ups won't completely thin the workforce but it will definitely save them severance pay outs. Several facilities have new policies etc (enforceable by write ups and immediate termination for some) that are designed to slip ppl up.
Excuse me, not laying off any protect class exclusively. For example, people over 40 are a protected class. If management wanted a leaner, younger workforce, they couldn't just layoff the required amount of people over 40. There would have to be an equal distribution of personnel below 40 to show there was not discrimination.
The process isn't always the same. Drug testing does not necessarily supplement layoffs.
As far as layoffs go, if you are a regular full time employee you are equally liable to be laid off. Then they, HR, have to meet certain criteria age, race, gender, etc. to ensure they are not laying off any protected class.
Not always true and hasn't been true this far for other NOV a locations
People that fail the drug test, contract/temps, then last hired.

So after the contractors how do they figure out who to let go? I've been seeing them doing drug test.
Contractors first
