This is the way to notify people of a layoff. Immediate binary yes/no.
Although there is no great way to do it, this layoff seems pretty respectful and well done.
- invite everyone 2 weeks before to a townhall named [REQUIRED] An update on your employment
- read the names of the fired people from a fancy envelope
- when someone is called, their corp access is revoked in real time and they are kicked off the call
Having been through it, let me tell you that's a gut wrenching n minutes to wait, though.
*EDIT: Ah. "Negative acknowledgement." In other words, someone hears from them regardless of whether they're impacted or not, i.e. [NOT IMPACTED].
It's at least something more than we've seen from the majority of other layoffs. The severance is decent too so it's hard to deny Zoom's handled it better at least relative to how others have
No, it's robotic, and pathetic.
They'll soon be writing these lovely messages to their employees, as well as you're fired emails with ChatGPT.
Which way do you feel its the best way to be notified you're being fired?
I'm sure there is no good way of getting the news.
