I think because - if you fire a poor performer, everyone kind of gets it - they weren’t doing a good job, they’re a drain on company resources, they’ve got it coming, basically.
But lying off isn’t firing someone for performance - it’s admitting “we don’t have enough money to pay you”
And that’s something that should be scary to everybody in the company.
When your shitty coworker gets fired, you shrug and say, yeah, saw that coming. When your shitty coworkers get laid off, you look around nervously and think phew, l lucked out.
