It would be nice for the working wolrd if layoffs were specific to recent poor performance, but the truth is often more complicated. Many companies (foolishly) layoff in times of success to increase margins, or jettison failing subprojects (and therefore layoff all involved). Even when not motivated by margins, many companies have a standing policy of regularly laying off the lowest performers in a department, even if they meet expectations! Not sure where you work, but apparently it’s cushy enough to leave you without the fear of the downsize, wish i had the same luck!
