This. I don’t think people here realize that HR doesn’t really have a say in this, they aren’t the ones doing the firing and they aren’t the ones who can undo it since they aren’t the ones providing the team’s budget.
HR’s job in these situations is to do the dirty part: handle the announcement to each employee.
The girl in the video is saying that her manager was “pleased” and she didn’t understand why strangers in the HR department are doing the announcement to her: that’s the whole point, it’s very likely that it’s that “nice” manager who threw you under the bus when he had to make a choice on which people he needs to keep after top management told him to downsize his team but he didn’t have the guts to tell you that personally.

Literally looped in circles over and over to avoid answering questions. It was so frustrating to listen to.
