Comment on Usually a horrible interaction for all involved

One Friday I had to go into to the office for an early meeting. Walked in the, saw my boss, my boss’ boss, HR, and an owner. I just said Fuck out loud and was immediately reassured that it is not what it looks like. They were laying people off, some of which were my friends. IT will always know before hand, we have to deactivate people’s access in a way they don’t notice until they get their meetings/calls. It does not feel good.

Oh yeah, had to do this shit quite often as well. Also I sometimes knew that someone will be let go beforehand because I already had to prepare the onboarding for the next guy. Had to keep quiet for weeks towards the first guy. Went to lunch with him and stuff. Definitely my least favorite part of this job.

I would find some way to let them know it’s coming and ask them to not let anyone know I told them. Weeks is crazy.
