    I doubt it. When companies lay people off, they want to be able to choose who they let go. They don’t have that choice here. No well-managed company will value “works in the office” over “gets shit done”.

      Have you ever experienced a layoff? I have. They are usually very random. Higher ups rarely have any idea who should be kept and who should be let go.

      The rule is in place so that they have a leg to stand on for letting people go with cause. When good workers don’t show up, they might get a performance improvement plan, but their managers will find a way to not enforce it. When the rest of the workforce doesn’t show up, those folks will be let go.
