uber never seemed like a rational company that thinks of the good of its employees (i know it’s a business, but still).
the cut deep, cut once method for layoffs is doing business 101, but still there are 2 rounds of layoffs at uber

Better to give people a heads up so they can start getting their resumes in order, hitting up their networks, etc. rather than telling a blatant lie.
- lie, by saying there is no discussion
- omit, by not saying whether or not there is a discussion
- discuss openly
- don't discuss, just make the decision rashly
Decisions like this tend to follow one of the first two options, but clearly none of them are great. They're all damaging in their own way.
