• This is exactly the same energy as Russian soldiers making videos to ask to Putin to save them from the meat grinder he is knowingly throwing them into.

  • Layoff protection? A guaranteee that you won’t be let go? So even if you’re terrible at your job you can’t be fired just because you don’t want to be?

    There’s dumb, and then there’s this.

    • Technically “layoffs” are different from “firing”.

      Layoffs are typically high in number, wider reaching, reductions in force just to cut numbers.

      Firings are targeted and generally (though they don’t have to be) with cause and have a procedure (performance reviews, improvement plans, warnings, etc.)

      Not to say you can’t target a layoff to include all your lower performers, more to say that you can still fire someone outside of a layoff.
