With continued workforce reductions, does tenure, performance, or loyalty actually protect anyone? We weeded all the low performers out - who is left?

Stankey pledge........no one is safe!
L3 here. We was told we was save in Dallas HQ. What gives?
Performance means nothing.
There is NO loyalty anymore, per the CEO.
The only one safe is the CEO & C-Suite
Stank and the board are the lowest performers and they are still here.
Safe here. Level tree, remote
I am still around because I am a high performer. I just do my work and not complain much.
If you're still around, it is not because you are a high performer or have exceptional skills. Your number just hasn't come up, yet.. And those allegedly 'low performers' were probably no less proficient or less talented than you. Anyone foolish enough to think there's a safe space to land will be in for a rude awakening when their position, location or entire organization is unceremoniously hit.
No department or organization is safe. That's just where we are in this country.
Only high performers got laid off. Go ahead and ask them, they'll tell ya.
In fact, the op perhaps shall be fired for posting.
Nah, I can think of one really low performer but he won’t leave. He just stays to inflict more pain and destruction.
Nope. Only “friends & families”…& st00ges.
