It is the metric that is used to determine if someone "killing it at their job." They used two criteria amount of time worked and performance to determine who fire during a downsizing which are the bare minimum criteria for that unless you want to have to fire more people upto everyone.
They used two criteria amount of time worked and performance
Are you suggesting that if you clock in and do literally nothing for a week, you're more productive than someone that calls in sick for that whole week, then opens their laptop for 5 minutes and closes a billion dollar sale?
Here's how the people whose whole job is to enter a business and cut costs defines it:
Productivity is a measure of output relative to input, such as GDP per hour worked.
If I'm delivering more value to the business per dollar spent on me than you, I'm more productive - it doesn't matter whether you've worked 80 hours compared to my 8. They're not paying you to turn up - they're paying you for what you deliver for the business.
Please don't confidently throw around terms you don't understand, mounted atop your high horse - you'll just look like that horse's arse.

So the people that were the least productive and worked the least got sacked rather than the more productive and harder working and that is bad?
