Feeling so uneasy with all the layoffs and my company had a leaked memo from the ceo saying there may be cuts but didn’t mention which departments (very large company)
My question is when they decide to lay people off do they just axe the whole team or do they look at performance, pay, etc of each employee? Sorry if it’s a stupid question.

Both things. Most times based on performance, and pay vs. value. Overpaid senior gets the axe early. Bottom performers get the axe early.

Non essential functions or strategic changes in what the company does or what skills they want to house or what location to operate in causes department wide cuts

What kind of company are you in? Product design is core - and unless they’re offshoring what you do or have excess designers compared to product outlook, you’re safe

thanks for answering! large media company. i feel a bit better now 🫠

Leaked memo probably deliberate so people leave on their own. On your question. they do both. Very
large company then runs numbers to get statistics on the layoff list. This is to make sure protected classes not over represented.
