I hate this trend of some people in power pretending to have remorse and be considered as victims or powerless when in fact all of this results of their decisions. Nothing would have prevented to do that in a better way, with individual or little group meetings. Maybe not firing them "effective immediately" but respecting them not as throwable useless resources... But probably it is easier for the CEO and it's managing team to do it like that than spending days and hours in individual meetings... But just remember that these 900 persons were not hired in a mass zoom call! So, I wish that everyone be smart enough to refuse being hired to work in one company that this guy is leading.

Nothing would have prevented tearful management from managing better over the past year. Managing better is hard work. But it is more exciting to chase the next funding round.

"I almost cried", and then I remembered all this sweet cash infusion that I get to play with. F that dude.

> these 900 persons were not hired in a mass zoom call! By hundreds of people, not directly by CEO. I don't know if pushing the layoff responsibility to the manager is better. > Nothing would have prevented to do that in a better way, with individual or little group meetings Disagree. Your friend is laid off and you have a meeting with CEO next? The rumour and anticipation will wreck everybody. This could be dangerous for company itself in terms of security. Not saying what CEO did is the best. I don't have a better solution to firing people, but yours is definitely worse.
