I was laid off and replaced with a younger person
Question:
I was “laid off”, at least that is what they called it. But the thing is, is it not when someone gets laid off that there job is not replaced? My job was replaced the same day by someone that has been there for less time, younger and less experience? Is there anything I can do?

Tenure doesn’t matter unless you’re union. There are a lot of lazy people with tenure who shouldn’t be working.
