In this and every subsequent layoff, the older you are the higher your chance of being let go. Some younger employees will be added to the mix to avoid being accused of age discrimination, but let's be real, they want to get rid of everybody who makes more than the bare minimum they're willing to pay these days. Just stating facts.

consider your company a liability
Someone in HR accidentally attached a list in an email to laid of employees, of everyone in nick marketing let go with their titles and ages and a list of if they were staying or going. Can’t make this up. And no, there was no rhyme or reason to the ages let go, probably just needed a balance.
I agree. However, even if the current executives are dismissed, they will leave with golden parachutes and be immediately replaced by equally useless money eaters; thus perpetuating the same vicious cycle of the profits remaining mostly with the top. As far as a class action suit, I'm all for it, but it would be hard to prove. Sign me up.
David Ellison should really look at the salaries of ALL the executives. They get paid a lot to do very little. These executives should be on top of the layoff list not the folks that actually do the work.
I’m In the older age group and they didn’t let me go.. I’d wish they did..
Hmmm. If this is the case, perhaps there's room for a class action age discrimination lawsuit.
100% agree. It's all about the bottom line for thee companies.
