The scenario of laying off employees due to financial loss is an example of involuntary separation. This refers to an employment termination that occurs without the employee’s consent or choice, such as being laid off or fired. Job embeddedness refers to the factors that make an employee feel connected to their job and organization, functional turnover occurs when low-performing employees voluntarily leave, and reverse discrimination refers to discrimination against members of a dominant or majority group in favor of members of a minority or historically disadvantaged group.
