I recently laid off an employee who was with us for one year and 2 weeks (total, as a full time supervisor of marketing, she did not supervise people). She is now suing the company for wrongful dismissal. During her one year of employment our sales were down over 300k and we lost a 2 million dollar account that she did the administration/clerical/customer service work for (i laid her off when i was told confidentially that we had lost the account). We are a small company and with the loss in sales layoff's were necessary.
