job shares not necessarily the first ot be let go in a lay off. depends on how much they earn and how tight they are with the deciding manager who is ranking everyone.
First prerequisite is to be female. Never knew a single male who received this. Another glaring example AZ (and pharma) has become nothing but a "chick" job. Fits in nicely with all the other bs re: diversity (reverse discrimination) in the org. The place is filled with inept people in positions based on race, ethnicity and gender. And people wonder why it's such a rotten place to work ?
