>but they're treating us like they treat the drivers. So it's fine to treat drivers bad? Who enabled this treatment of drivers? I prefer being fired/layed off through a text message, it will save me not having to make weird faces and hide emotions when dealing with the person who laid me off.

    It’s not some poor HR person. The HR person loves to fire people, for lots of different reasons. Here are just three reasons. 1. The HR person craves drama. They live for it. It’s the reason they are an HR person. Firing people is drama. 2. Firing people gives the the HR person a sense of power over others and sense of being important. They are really just doing the bidding of someone higher up, but that is why it makes them feel important because they are “in the know” when most others are not. 3. It gives them a feeling of being in control and immune to being fired since they often manipulate and control the outcomes. If someone wanted to help people then they wouldn’t have chosen HR as a profession. HR isn’t there to help the employees. They are there to help and protect the company.

Until you discover that this message was forged, and when you show up one week later, then they really fire you for not showing up at work for a week.

    This message said: > prefer being fired/layed off through a text message [...] where I suggest that a text message could be forged. From that point, either you don't pay attention to that possibility, and take the risk of being fired for real, or you request a confirmation through some other mean of communication, something that can be verified, and thus render the original message moot. Or did that person imply that somehow message of that sort would be signed off cryptographically? I didn't think about that option, but I wonder how many companies deploy PKIs for emails between employees. Maybe this is more common than I think?
