There are a lot of factors that go into layoff calculations, and often it isn't performance. In fact it can perversely be the opposite. Finished your project early? You're not doing anything now so you're expendable, bye! Or maybe you got into one too many heated arguments with your boss because you knew you were right and he was wrong.
