There was a post on reddit about this yesterday. It was from a call center employee who was waiting for “the email.” He was chatting with a friend...and the emails started coming out. Their friend’s computer and phone simply shut down as the email came in for them.
I’ve been through many “restructuring” events, buy outs, ‘mergers’, and what not. None of them are fun. But reading this in real time, the callousness of some companies are just brutal. I guess the work from home situation makes the process worse than it was.
The times I had to let groups of people go, I always felt I owed them the respect of looking them in the eye. Those days are gone.
People are chattle nowadays..................
