Beta Corporation claims that it no longer has enough work for the 60 computer data-entry workers that it is laying off. These workers have heard, however, that the company is buying 100 new computers. So the workers concluded that the company' s real reason for laying them off is to fill their jobs with lower-paid workers.
 Beta Corporation's new computers will allow its current management and sales staff to perform many of the tasks that the data-entry workers were previously doing would most undermine the workers' conclusion.
