A friend of mine worked for a company that thought it would be a good idea to have everyone share the pain. The way they did it however was quite horrible. Every single person was invited into a room and handed identical envelopes. Once you opened the envelope, you found out whether you were fired or not, kind of like a reverse lottery. Of course, no one explained it very well, so everyone thought they were fired and there were a lot of bad feelings among both groups.
- gaius 18y agoThe NY office of one company I worked for just told people to report to meeting room A or B. The A crowd were told they kept their jobs (this round at least). The B crowd were escorted by security guards out of the fire escape and down onto the street. The same company laid me off in London, the lucky ones (i.e. those of us who got it) took the rest of the company out for a drink to celebrate!
