SWE @ Lyft: Just one data point, but we went through a layoff last month. Every person I knew closely who was laid off had one or more weak performance reviews in the last year.

Not saying this is always the case, but there is some truth in this concern that might make hiring managers weary.

Sure. Like any generalization, there is always some truth. But it's still a generalization.

Also, generally, well-run companies don't need covid-like events to cull the herd. They're managing low-performers out regularly.
