sure, but the reality is that in the beginning of layoffs they will have larger reserves available for severance. As economic hardships mount those reserves will dwindle. Companies pretty much stopped caring about fair a long time ago unless you are lucky enough to have reached the C-Suite. Some companies alter the severance package based on nothing but how much your VP level officer likes you.

I completely agree, that is totally a nasty risk vector!

Fortunately I am a Boeing shareholder at $139.xx per share, so any measure to cut costs and reduce bureaucracy is welcome in my book. What a world!
