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.
