I realize it sucks to loose a job, but would anyone rather be let go after Christmas ? With all the holiday debt over your head ? In my experience many companies staff up in the new year making a early year layoff much worse.
- rianjs 16y agoMany people are finished--or at least a good way through--Christmas shopping. Thanksgiving time would probably have been better; hopefully these folks will be able to return some of the gifts they've purchased, if that's something they need to do.
- corin_ 16y agoPersonally I'd rather be notified sooner - it's fine saying "let them know before they build up holiday debt", but I'm sure that, by now, many of them would have already bought the presents, booked the holiday, whatever it is they would be spending money on.
- kscaldef 16y agoI know this is crazy talk; but maybe don't go into debt for Christmas? It happens every year, at the same time. You can plan for it. Open a holiday "club" account at your bank and put $50 or $100 in every month.
