From what I have seen in the past year, clown all fine. Star got cut, new hire (less than a year) got cut, certain races are safe. Engineer level all cherry picked by VP/direct ,manager level and beyond is up to higher level decision. All the logic you guys talking about isn't really applied. The most reasonable scenario, cut low perf employee, didn't happen in the past. I think this legacy will carry on. That was a terrible memory in my career....

but most of higher paid ones are older too so I guess it will not be easy to execute this

Yes. Cost cutting is a legitimate reason for termination/RIF. So long as the criteria are not a proxy for age, rage, ethnicity, nationality, gender, or any other protected class.

Most of them are not actually a manager ,they just push papers and don't own any responsibility...more of admin stuff is what they do.At least that's the case with my manager..

I think it's not the salary. It's the total package they spend on you.

I am sure manager won't leave because directors VPs needs clowns and engineer is all expandable...

If that's the case all managers go first. At least all the middle managers who lead no projects and essentially only become managers when reviews start.

Is 100k a year enough to let you go?
