In many layoff scenarios, the first to be let go are often the most expensive ones (the ones who make more than their colleagues who only do what they're asked to).

I've seen the best people let go only in cases where an entire department was laid off as a whole unit. In cases where people were selectively let go I've never seen it be the top performers.
