> So what is the difference between “the company did layoffs of its lowest performers due to financial pressure caused in part by the pandemic” and “the company did layoffs of its lowest performers using the pandemic as an excuse to avoid bad PR”?

1. Whether the company might cut deeper later

2. Whether other companies will be forced to follow suit

3. Because of 1 and 2, whether the average HN reader should worry about their livelihood.

(HN readers are, of course, 100% high performers their employers are lucky to have)
