I appreciate you sharing your experience, but if I was in the room I’d be upset that you didn’t handle it better for the sake of the remaining team AND the departing employees.
The approach detailed in the above blog post is more appropriate for any situation with more than 10 employees.

- icebergonfire 7y agoAs a hypothetical employee attending that all-hands I could be upset too in the moment due to the impact those news would have on me. However I could not in good conscience be angry at you, not once I calm down and can think logically again. Turns out bosses and management are humans too, what a novel concept! Shit happens, and we are all constantly trying our best. > I never fully recovered from the worst day of my life, and that was 19 years ago From one stranger to another, with as much empathy as I can convey through this comment box: whether you start another project of that magnitude or not, I hope you can eventually change that sentence to "it was grueling, you kinda never forget but I did fully recover". Thank you for sharing your story.
