- vmception 5y agoHow would you prefer it was done?
- sky_rw 5y agoMost people don't have suggestions, they just have complaints. If you've never been in the position as a business leader where you are forced to lay off employees then it can seem capricious.
- AlwaysRock 5y agoI've had to lay people off. It sucks. I didnt do it over zoom or make anonymous accounts and blame them for it online. Again. Gross.
- ebiester 5y agoThere's a template. You invite the company into an all-hands. You tell the entire company. During that, account lockouts are happening. Then, you have individual appointments between the individual manager and HR (sometimes, HR+). The meeting itself is short and gives the details of the separation. Yes, it will have to be a zoom call, but the CEO does not make it about themselves, and sticks to a script that's been rehearsed and checked with multiple humans to show empathy and humanity. You can tell the survivors that some of the people who were cut were poor fits for the company and any details you want, but sometimes it's the details that show low emotional intelligence rather than the fact of the call itself.
- vmception 5y agothanks, yeah I was watching the video and noticed the recipient of the call frantically typing, likely knowing that account lockouts are coming.
