Which employees will the company lay off first?

The answer is as follows: 1. Employees who are easily replaced.

A person's value is relative. For an enterprise, the more irreplaceable people are, the more valuable they are. If a person is engaged in a job that can be replaced casually, the replacement cost is very low, and the impact on the company after layoffs is not great. If necessary, you can recruit from the market at any time, and enterprises will have less concerns when laying off employees.

2. Layoff employees with lower costs.

For most enterprises, the cost of layoffs (including direct costs and indirect costs) will definitely be considered when layoffs, and people with low layoffs will often be given priority, such as those who need to pay less economic compensation or compensation and are relatively easy to be laid off. Therefore, when laying off employees, many enterprises will give priority to laying off employees who have a probation period or a short service life.

3. High-paid employees do not match the value created.

For enterprises, high-paid employees have high labor costs. Laying off a person can reduce more labor costs, especially those employees whose value created for the enterprise does not match their salary. If a person's salary is high, but the value he creates is also high, from the perspective of value creation and talent competition, enterprises will not give priority to layoffs. After all, these people create high value and are highly competitive in the talent market. If you go to find a competitor, it will bring pressure to the enterprise.
