How do businesses decide who to lay off?
Just wondering how vulnerable my job is. I’m in medical sales for the lab which has very high visibility right now. Med techs have always been the unsung heroes of health care. The lab is almost always relegated to the basement of hospitals even though 70% of all medical diagnosis rely on lab info. Anyway, I sell diagnostic instruments that will soon have serology tests specific for COVID-19. Right now though, that test isn’t available until June.
Since I’m not in R&D, I’m wondering if my job is on the line. Typically sales people, especially productive ones, are considered essential but these are not typical times. I’ve never been nervous about losing my job until now.
