Based on the information provided in the case, Mike Martinez should lay off Craig Cottrell. Although Cottrell is the top performer in the unit, he has the least seniority and the lowest salary compared to the other three employees. Additionally, his work performance has only been high in the past year, while the other employees have consistently performed well or have shown potential for growth. Laying off Cottrell would be the most fair and logical decision based on the information provided.
