> Too complicated and subjective, stinks of more risk.

I actually think there's less risk, because it's not as narrowly focused on what a just-fired employee can do. That's not the only scenario of concern.

> Also, I don't think it's dehumanizing it all (having been on the receiving end of it way back when during a layoff, and involved in the process more times than I care to count).

Interesting. Thanks for the perspective. I've been fortunate enough to not be on the receiving end of a lay-off, knock on wood. It's happened to my teammates/reports though. Wasn't my decision. :-(
