When they hire as part of the push for that 30% chance, are they telling them that they have a 70% chance of being laid-off if the bet doesn't pay out?

If it's "just a bet" and not mismanagement, then we should tell people that, shouldn't we?

The reality is that these bets are only bets for the people getting hired/laid off, and they don't even know they are betting in the first place. Even worse because we're not talking about simply losing money here. Losing a job is many times a life changing event in real people's lives. It's not like someone betting on a stock.

That's why there should be consequences for the ones making those decisions. They get the most rewards, but none of the punishment. How's that fair in any shape or form?

I don't know the answer to this, but I don't think it really matters.

Employees have responsibility to due diligence their employers.

But at the end of the day, employment is at will. It's a risk we all take.
