We had a coworker that got fired a while back, man that was a relief for the entire department. That person was absolutely toxic to work with, or even near.
That is different than for layoffs, which generally is less about rooting out toxic people and more about lowering costs. And people know it usually.
That said, anyone causing trouble for management or viewed as not pulling their weight will be the first on the list since management won’t have to justify firing them.
That’s true, but if you had some 5–10% of co-workers so toxic that everyone was relieved to have them fired, things do look grim for your company in terms of morale
Yeah that whole line smells like pure bullshit. I’ve never seen anyone be grateful for having their coworkers laid off.
