If a company is bigger than Dunbar's Number I would absolutely take that trade as a prospective employee!

I think firing by SMS also serves the noble purpose of illustrating to prospective employees that these are purely transactional relationships and that, no, this isn't a family, the exec's heart will not bleed.

Pretty sure vast majority of people would prefer that

Make it 24 months and most people will be happy being fired with a robocalled "fuck you"...

I actually have seen a very random company who fired its employees by SMS in the middle of the night... And not a single penny of severance packaging. They only got their last payment and that was it. It's a shame I forgot the company name to have them face some shame here...
