Well, my colleagues all knew in the day I was laid off in the morning before me. I only knew about it after it being announced in the afternoon because it was a day off for me. It was fun. People coming to say goodbye and me having no idea what they were talking.
Sounds shitty. Why do companies do that?
Let them go on Friday so they have the weekend to cool off. Minimises problematic post employment events.
it's better for everyone if you negotiate layoffs and firings beforehand. No surprises and everyone gets their day in court. That is how the union system works in Sweden.
American MBAs and HR managers are too cowardly to have tough discussions with their employees.
Ah but you see, success is clearly a zero sum game. Even if the company is worse off than otherwise, if they fuck over their employees more than they’re fucking themselves over, it’s still a win.
