LIFO, in my opinion is the fairest system, if it's already in place when you accept a job's terms and conditions.
Redundancies based on poor performance or character peculiarities may well result in unfair dismissal claims. Subjectivity might be argued.
It's not just the job description, skills and qualifications are differentiators too

Fair selection criteria
Fair reasons for selecting employees for redundancy include:
- skills, qualifications and aptitude
- standard of work and/or performance
- attendance
- disciplinary record
You can select employees based on their length of service (‘last in, first out’) but only if you can justify it. It could be indirect discrimination if it affects one group of people more than another.
Do not rely on length of service as your only selection criteria - this is likely to be age discrimination."
