Low Performers: Employees who consistently fail to meet performance expectations or lack the skills needed to do their job can be at risk of losing their job.
Older Employees: Companies may be more likely to lay off older employees because they tend to be higher paid and may have less room for growth.
New Hires: Companies may be more likely to lay off recent hires to save money. This is especially true if the new hire’s skills are not essential to the company’s operations.
