There was a layoff at Apple in the early days.  Rather than order a 10% across the board reduction or some other strategy Steve put every employees name on an index card and covered the walls of a conference room.  He then invited every manager in and gave them some number of votes.  They could vote for their own employees or those of another manager.  If they saw an employee they valued was already protected they might choose to protect another whom they respected but who hadn't received a vote yet.  \r\n\r\nWhen everyone had rotated through the room, employees who had not received any votes, no matter what they did, were  laid off."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tgoldenberg/phase-0-unit-1/issues/comments/84706008","html_url":"https://github.com/tgoldenberg/phase-0-unit-1/issues/2#issuecomment-84706008","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tgoldenberg/phase-0-unit-1/issues/2","id":84706008,"user":{"login":"tgoldenberg","id":10930134,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10930134?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg","html_url":"https://github.com/tgoldenberg","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgoldenberg/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-22T21:02:22Z","updated_at":"2015-03-22T21:02:22Z","body":"Interesting story, thanks! \n\n-Tom\n> On Mar 22, 2015, at 4:50 PM, Michael Farr <notifications@github.com> wrote:\n> \n> d through the room, employees who had not received any votes, no matter what they did, were laid off.\n\n"}}
