Company I worked at had a layoff in 2012, security manager escorted 200 people out of the building. At the end of the day, he was escorted out of the building. It was quite shitty for that fellow, I felt terrible for him.
"ON OUR WAY!"
This is a disgusting scenario. I hope they weren't misusing on-duty police resources for this.
All they wanted to do was go get their personal items and say goodbye to their peers. Some of them were forced to leave phones and purses behind and wait a week for them to be mailed to them.
It's one of those times in life where you see the mask slip off and realize who the people you've been dealing with actually are.
How is that even legal? I wouldn’t leave without my personal belongings or I would file charges for theft with those cops.
One of my former colleagues, who showed up to work early, inadvertently freaked out one of the executives when they saw them in the hall. Naturally they (not the executive) were soon escorted out of the building and told they had been laid off.
