I would much rather get a company wide call, then a private message, than a patronizing group firing.
Usually the issue is a long delay between saying people will be laid off, and laying them off, but in this case the delay could have been minimal.

The use of the word unlucky also made it extra insulting.
They're not unlucky, his company made bad moves. Even if the market changed, it was on his company to build in resiliency.
- sokoloff 5y agoThis move can reasonably be viewed as creating resiliency for the remaining employees (which the article suggests is 91% of the company).
- BoorishBears 5y agoI'm guessing the morale hit from going viral for this is probably going to undo any hoped good... - And for the record, the way I saw this was a TikTok of an employee recording the call before he even said the word fired, so I assume most people already knew what was up. But based on the placement of (imo justified) profanity, it wasn't known that the call was exclusive to the fired. So in a way they probably felt like they had just been fired by receiving a poisoned zoom link, not even the call that it lead to, if that makes sense.
