Basically, from what I can see, if you're older and have higher pay, chances were higher to be shown the door. It's not a rule, of course, since then people could sue over age discrimination, but that seems to be the dominant factor. More people over 40 were hit than those under.

@cc mkt
@cb what org are you in roughly speaking?
Neither age related nor a performance related based on the outcome in my department
Well, Ican tell you that we've lost only one person in my team and she was a horrible performer (also she was so passive agressive that other team members kept avoiding any contact with her as it would always be a sh-tshow). anyhow, you may be right but it's not applicable to my team, lost one person and that one was the worst. i know she's on this site (she told us about it prior to being laid off) so i am expecting that she'll heavily download my comment.
100% age related
age played the role, but it was not the primary reason for selection
i am confused as i've seen good people being cut but also some bad people as well, so really not sure what they were thinkin
