Yeah for sure. Especially with wfh. It’s easy to fire a remote worker. It’s harder to fire them in person. A good attitude in the office does go a long way. (I’m not arguing against wfh)

As if the people making the firing decisions knew the people they fired and their "good attitude" before COVID.

This is plainly just the financial class pushing back against recent advances in wages by inducing a recession.

In the case of a mass layoff where an entire department is cut, then yes. But often times the manager from each department is asked to provide a list of “expendable” people.
