"To those saying it's unsubstantiated: it happened to me. Since the firm doesn't exactly announce you've been let go, it's hard to know how many people this has affected. But the other comment here saying that they do it by giving you bogus negative performance reviews that are uncorroborated by the actual teams you work with is exactly what happened to me."
"When I asked what the actual problem with my performance was, all I got was the vaguest 'feedback' ever about attention to detail or something like that. I had only ever gotten positive feedback, and never had any complaints before about my attention to detail."
"This suggested to me that this was probably happening across the department rather than anything to do with me."

Insiders on Reddit confirm these practices, describing vague performance critiques that do not align with their actual work history, suggesting a broader trend of layoffs driven by economic conditions rather than individual performance issues.
