In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: In my experience it is often better to work for companies that have periodic layoffs. It has become unfashionable to fire bad or mediocre employees, as such companies have to trim the poor performers through layoffs. As a result it is not unusual for the company to be trying to hire for the same position as they just laid someone off from. I have worked at companies that kept the dead weight and it really drags down the morale of the other employees and the productivity. In such companies the good, productive employees are the first to leave because they are marketable. This leaves the company with the lower performers and then the company gets in a bad situation where they can not remove the low performers as they have the tribal knowledge about products. In such companies the morale continues to decline as does productivity until the business is sold or closes. It is better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.
