Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seniority, or firing the newest employees first, can inadvertently reduce diversity if the company's more recent hiring practices were focused on increasing diversity. This means that newer, potentially more diverse hires would be the first to go, reducing overall diversity despite the criterion not being explicitly about diversity.
