Maybe it's just here @ QCOM, but I've heard the same thing.
Our HR ppl have to jump through many hoops to get someone laid off.
It's almost like the public-service.

In California, employees are presumed to be “at will.” At-will
employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as it’s not
illegal. Generally, employees that work under an employment contract
can only be terminated for reasons specified in the contract. In
California, the at-will presumption can be overcome by evidence that
despite the absence of a specified term of employment, the parties
agreed who the employer's power to terminate would be limited in some
way.
Maybe it's the "not illegal" clause that causes us to jump through hoops
so we can show we went through every effort to accomodate an employee,
so they don't come back and sue later for wrongful/illegal dismissal ?
