Well, I'd rather get laid off over zoom than email, also, I was laid off in 3 minutes in-person. Is that better? I would have preferred they just called me that morning so i could have stayed home. Maybe that's just me. It sucks to be laid off any way you look at it.
- tyingq 6y agoLaid off, one-on-one, over Zoom would be okay with me. Then I could ask questions that are specific to me and (hopefully) get answers. A mass call with thousands of people though? I don't see how that's ever okay.
- 1stranger 6y agoPresumably there is a lot of management being laid off as well that managed those 3,500 people. There probably isn't enough HR to manage that volume of layoffs 1:1. No point in dragging it out over multiple days, dealing with rumors, etc. I watched the call in the article. Given the severance they're getting I think they did the most humane thing possible.
