    They’re claiming that the people are being let go for poor performance in their termination letters, presumably for legal reasons, so I guess that they technically qualify as firings.

    But, I mean, that’s not what’s actually driving this – they’re just getting rid of people who they can get rid of without regard for performance – so I’d use the term “layoffs” myself.

      “layoffs”, yes, this is good terminology for me as well … in my view, it removes the dreadful impression given by the word “firing”.
