Re: Just to play devil's advocate here
Where I worked there used to be a "Decimation Spreadsheet" which identified the 10% of employees that should be strongly encouraged to leave - of their own accord, of course; no funding of firings there. They would be put into an uncomfortable, lonely existence until they "self-selected out" of the company.
Apart from the correct use of the word Decimation, a truly unadmirable, and probably illegal practice.
