The passive voice around laying off employees is always so gross. It didn't magically require you lay off those employees. Someone in your C-suite decided. Own it.
- foldr 3y agoMost of it's not technically in the passive voice (only 'be laid off' in the second paragraph).
- dangus 3y ago> In most cases, this package includes 16 weeks of salary, up to one year of health insurance coverage, and a performance bonus, paid pro-rata as if the year-end performance targets have already been achieved. Layoffs are amazing. Every layoff I’ve experienced has been a financial gain and reduction in my total workload. That’s the whole point of severance packages: to keep employees happy enough to not sue. And let me tell you, getting laid off is one of my favorite things. As long as my check clears, corporate PR can say whatever nonsense they want, nobody’s really listening to them anyway.
- JJMcJ 3y agoI've had zero severance or two weeks extra pay layoffs. Those are a lot less fun.
- mock-possum 3y agoWow every layoff I’ve experience has felt like a betrayal and has taken real time to get over, both emotionally and financially. You lucked out.
