There might be more to the story. If a boss orchestrated a layoff with the cost of a severance package, and this was done just to hire the friend of the boss, there could be more at stake. Was the boss an owner? Was there a payout due to a referral? Do the owners know what occurred? Are there investors that might be concerned? Does the company have to justify their rates based on a regulatory body?
I don't know which of the above have any legal impact, but it really grinds my gears when companies don't take care of their employees.
