So let me get this straight, they emailed what? 12,000 employees, and told them they would be fired or not in about 15 minutes? Please tell me they didn't email 12,000 employees this ticking time bomb of a revelation. If I were at Atlassian and survived the lay offs I would be sprucing up my resume. There's no good way to lay off people, but this is even worse.
- sokoloff 1y agoAt a consulting company I worked at, we were told on Wednesday that layoffs affecting around 1/3 of the company would happen on Thursday and Friday and that the company was paying for an all-company event at a nearby pub-restaurant where the execs and senior managers did not attend, but most of the company did. Much emotion, team reminiscing, and a fair amount of drinking happened and it was an interesting but honestly pretty decent way to handle it I thought. I was largely indifferent to whether I was in the 2/3 or 1/3 and ended up quitting on my own a couple months later.
