massive layoffs just after forcing everyone to move back to where their assigned office is located is…a choice. telling people they are fired by email is…a choice. telling people they are fired via email while they’re in a whole other state for a client meeting is…a choice.
everything that is happening with these layoffs and how they’re handled were choices that were actively made. as you embark upon your next job hunt (hopefully after some time off) remember that your job is your job. not (usually) your family. not your identity.
@ericajoy it feels like it was choices carelessly made. Which is almost worse. They didn't lay off somebody who was out of state for a client visit on purpose, they probably didn't even realize they did, not did they give a fuck.

@michaelklein @ericajoy They laid off an engineer who was on all, and he pinged secondary to hand off via personal phone as his last action since he was cut off from internal access.

They laid off a new mom who was literally in labor when the ax fell.

“Careless” doesn’t begin to describe it.

@jpanzer @ericajoy I don't now. Careless describes the evil of the situation pretty well for me. They don't care for people, don't care for common decency or the good of society. We're just numbers. It's abhorrent.
