- curt15 1y agoHow much notice did ppl get when sacked?
- shawn_w 1y agoA week, maybe 2 for this last round? They were announced on the 13th I believe, for "mid July" layoffs.
- nine_k 1y agoFrom my experience, none. "Utterly unfortunately, today was your last day with the company. A separation agreement has been sent to your personal email. Your corporate access is being revoked. Thank you for your contribution!" Being fired for poor performance is all about ample warnings, issuing a PIP, etc. The company wants the employee back on track. Being laid off is a situation that an employee cannot fix with their efforts. There's no incentive to work this week if it is already known that you are going to be laid off next week, but some employees might consider a prank or even minor sabotage as a helpless act of protest. It's safest to dismiss the laid-off ASAP.
- KennyBlanken 1y ago"Employees might sabotage stuff" is something parroted constantly and there's never any proof it is a significant issue.
- _alternator_ 1y agoA single person can cause a lot of damage.
- kemotep 1y agoThis[0] is just the first result searching and it is from this week too. But it is not uncommon. Insider threats to infrastructure exist at all times of course but a disgruntled employee with administrative access and knowledge of the infrastructure can do a lot of damage quickly.

- kijiki 1y agoIt's not common, but it absolutely happens: https://www.courthousenews.com/man-behind-s-f-system-lockout-deemed-guilty/ https://www.courthousenews.com/man-behind-s-f-system-lockout... Early in my career in the mid 2000s, the startup that was on the same floor as mine laid off a QA person, who then showed up the next day and fatally shot the CEO and head of HR. Our CEO called me and told me not to come in that day.

- Zone3513 1y agoWhy won't someone think of the poor struggling companies!!
- AlotOfReading 1y agobut most company are capital constrained all the time. Most employees are capital constrained at all times. The median American has $8000 in savings, and 30% have <$500.
- fsckboy 1y agoif your goal is healthy companies that can hire employees and give the employees what employees want (jobs, if you got lost) then don't saddle companies with extra expenses that are not productive. giving employees a bonus for non productive activity on top of the company's failure is just stupid. if immigrants with menial jobs can save money and even send money back home to their families, so can higher status employees.
- dontlaugh 1y agoI rarely resort to this sort of comment online, but I feel it is warranted in this case: fuck you.

- benoau 1y ago> wth is going on over at intel Thousands of layoffs. It's surprising someone even had time to post the notice.
- fsckboy 1y agono, the message poster keeps his job, so expect more messages
- burnt-resistor 1y agoRound after round of layoffs is terrible for morale and drives away existing good talent. Layoffs should cut deep... once. Corporations these days are rehashing the unwise, bureaucratic stupidity of decades past.
- DebtDeflation 1y agoLayoffs have just become a way to manage quarterly EPS.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoYep. Wage suppression and insta stock bump. Publicly- and private equity-owned corporations are inherently unstable beasts. Knowledge workers and ordinary workers need to band together and start their own co-ops that stay private, partially collectively-owned, have retirement plans, high performance people, pride in their goods and services, high job satisfaction, and very low turnover because everyone is trying to join them.
- binary132 1y agoThey don’t want to retain good (costly) talent. They want to shed the costly talent and acquire cheap talent.
