Reference no: EM13993635

Who Goes, Who Stays?
The consulting firm you have worked for over the last year is having some financial troubles. The large contracts it once had are slowly going away, and as your company struggles to make payroll, it is clear that layoffs must occur. The sales staff has not been meeting the sales goals set for them, resulting in incorrect budgets.
It has been decided that at least three people in the sales department should be laid off. You create a spreadsheet with pertinent sales employee data:

Name	Title	Years with the comp[any	Last overall rating on performance evaluation (1-5 scale, being highest)	Last year's sales goal met?
Deb Waters	Sales Manager	1	3	N/A as her position is managerial
Jeff Spirits	Account Manager	5	3	Yes, 1% over
Orlando Chang	Account Manager	3	4	Yes, 10% over goal
Jake Toolmeyer	Account Manager	2	4	No, 2% under goal
Audrey Barnes	Account Manager	5	5	Yes, 15% over goal
Kelly Andrews	Account Manager	1	2	No, 20% under goal
Amir Saied	Account Manager	8	5	Yes, 5% over goal
Winfrey Jones	Account Manager	4	2	No, 10% under goal
