Surely the clearest path to retaining only the best.

      Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.

      Nice work Dell.

        You’re keeping the people willing to make sacrifices to keep their jobs. You’re keeping the most desperate, most readily exploitable people, and getting rid of anyone who won’t tolerate your abuse.

          You’re also losing the prized employees with extremely transferable skillsets you’re lucky to have

            Not worth it. “Prized” employees can demand concessions. Better to eliminate the need for those “prized” skills entirely, or transfer the need to contractor responsibility rather than keeping them on payroll.
