The burden of proof is on you here actually - because the first law of large numbers shown was that hiring managers apparently believe this. The second thing you ignore is an honest assessment of human nature. The third thing you do is assign a cockamamie motive for these folks hiring who they hire, somehow thinking that business is so easy these days that some kind of perverted agenda can be adhered to in hiring policy.

OK, I agree with you — BUSINESS IS *NOT* EASY THESE DAYS. See Post #31 for instance.
My main question is the assumption that those who are laid off are MOSTLY because they are under-performing or incompetent.
I really need statistical proof of that. I don’t think the burden of proof is on my part.
