One of my previous companies handled it this way: We knew layoffs were coming, and that they would happen on a certain day. On that day, you got invited to one of two meetings - one on the 6th floor, and one on the 7th floor. One meeting was for everyone getting laid off, the other one was for people staying.
You didn't know which meeting was which until you got there, of course. It was awful.
- 75central 7y agoOne of my previous companies did this same thing, but the meeting where people were being laid off (myself included in that group) was held in the large break room. Everyone was crammed in there while a rep from an outside firm retained to actually do the layoffs read a pre-prepared statement. What made it super-awkward was the vending machine guy was there restocking the Coke machine and no one asked him to leave.
