> The critique of the zoom thing is unfair too. If he’d brought 900 people on site during a pandemic just to fire them, he’d have been criticised for that. This would have been a super interesting case. How many of those people would have complained bitterly at being forced to come back into an office at all? And then for the purpose of being sent off forever. Real issue raised by the story is 900 at once, with basically full clarity into the whole group dynamic. Imagine doing that in person! Being laid off over Zoom goes with Covid time. By now quite a few of us have never set foot in our local employers’ offices, even during the hiring process.
