Yes, but I’m saying the algorithm for layoffs factors in “performance”, which can be factored from past bonus allocations.

The algorithm isn’t going to lay off 150’s, but might preferentially select 100’s.

I don’t have inside info, I’m just making assumptions that the data has to come from somewhere.

Sort of. Managers still get in a room and decide how the bonus pool should be distributed by ranking people.

Having a more aggressive manager is important for getting a better bonus.

I could see this factoring into layoff decisions.

They should make three, and they all have to agree, but if only one disagrees then maybe they can ignore it, call it the “minority account” or something like that.

Does this mean the other products they ship aren’t hit with tariffs? Are they somehow wholly made in the US vs the ones that were dropped?

Edit: found my own answer:

“We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss.”

Instructions unclear, penis stuck in hot end.
