I had a meeting with plenty of important people tagged in, yet somehow I didn't think much, if anything, of it. Like it's just a meeting. Which it was. A meeting to inform me I was to be let go of the company. The possibility of that only occurred to me, I think, when prompted to think about it, on another meeting I had right before that one. That's right, two meetings back to back. Yet I was clueless…
In outside sales so everyone is working remote. I get an email around 7PM that we are going to have a meeting tomorrow (on line of course) at 3PM. I had heard that a big layoff was coming. But why a call at 3PM instead of first thing in the morning if I was going to get laid off. Later that evening I get calls from friends about the 10AM meeting. I told them I never got a message about it, but I did about a 3PM meeting.
What they did was all the people they were laying off were on the 10AM meeting. It was half the total sales force. at the 3PM meeting for the survivors, they explained to us what was going on.
This just happened a month or so ago at my place of employment... except there were no invites. No meetings. It went more like
9am: Hey, where did my chat with so and so go? Friggin teams...
11am: Now the other one is missing? Wtf?
1pm: Outside TM: Hey... dumb question, but do you have as many people on your team as you did yesterday?
Email Invite for 1:30PM has entered the chat
Well at least its suspect enough to prepare :). I once came in at 9am and we had random people funneling everyone into a conference room with HR people to tell us our department would no longer be needed.
This is why Europe is awesome, if they do that here they owe you like 3-6 months of salary.
Not just Europe, Aussie here. I got the ol' covid chuck and between lack of notice, untaken leave and long service leave (had been there over 8 years) it cost them $58,000
In my previous company, at about 9PM, about half the company got an invite for a 9AM meeting, and the other half for a 10AM meeting, we saw all the name in our invite of course. Let's say the evening was hard, to guess which group was staying and which group was fired! I was in the "stay" group, this repeated every quarter and after 3 or 4 quarters it was my turn to be in the fire group, the next quarter they closed the company and fired the remaining employees.
The HR lady was like the picture.
Lmao in my case my computer just randomly restarted and asked for a security pin while I was busy working on something. I learned through our WhatsApp group that we got laid off lol.
Call with HR was when I already knew and nothing like this, I tried to get them to let me keep my $7k MacBook, no chance, literally everything was non negotiable so the call was absolutely pointless.
You should have kept the Mac, seriously. I often had no response trying to get laptops back from employees and was asking HR if we couldn't get a form for new hires to sign regarding company equipment returns. Can't remember the reasoning but HR told me the company is basically powerless to force the issue. In any case, the legal costs of suing you would quickly stack higher than $7K.
Sure, I'll gladly send the laptop back, you'll just have to pay my hourly freelance rate for the labor involved. My rate is $240,000/hr, I'll have it shipped out within 30 business days of payment. Alternatively, feel free to send a courier for pickup, my current address is 189 Beaker St, McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
Can't they just file a police report suggesting you stole it? It's the government's job then and since the police barely have to investigate anything they are sure to actually do something. That's a quick way to get a search warrant filed.
Yeah but they would hold back the severance pay until they received the laptop, they have done this before lol
Never bought a Mac before, but what the hell are the specs in a $7k Macbook? I didn't think they went over $3k.
I've never priced one that high, but I'd suspect 16" screen and multi-TB nvme are the main culprits.
e: I was curious so I went and priced one. $7.3k for the 16" Pro with absolutely every bell and whistle. M4 Max 16/40 core, 128GB RAM, 8TB. It's a beast but holy shit that price tag…
Yeah I had that one, absolute beast would never buy that for myself but would have loved to keep it
The big ones start at 3k.
It would be nice to get some time in advance as notice. Like Trump get 4 years as he can't be fired for some unknown reason even though he has and is still doing illegal things(tarifs without kongress approval etc.)...
Apparently being a child fucker isn’t a reason to get fired either
Sorry, too busy. Why can’t my manager fill you in on my current projects?
Haha I tried that one, because I was legitimately too swamped and management got very upset.
Where the fuck do y'all work that your HR "rep" looks like Anne Hathaway? Every company I worked for had a lady that looked like she retired after thirty years of proctoring detentions at a public highschool.
I literally worked for a company where one of the two people in HR paid for her studies with modelling, the kind where you mostly keep your clothes on. Also I'm pretty sure my boss only hired her because he wanted to fuck her.
Everyone in HR at my current company is hot. It almost seems like a prerequisite.
"Why do you keep winding up speaking to HR?" 👀
Brb, backing up my script folder and deleting anything I haven't already shared with the team
Just deline the invite and you are safe ;)
Had a 3rd shift guy I was trying to fire get 3 extra shifts out of us by just not showing up to the meeting and not answering his phone. HR wouldn't let me just shut his account off until the 3rd one. That dude was a real POS for other reasons but I can't knock him for taking advantage of bureaucratic nonsense.
That smile. That damned smile.
I think this is their mask.
Do they get special training on how to lie with a straight face?
I know a couple hr people personally, and they speak in a kind of coded manner at work. Some of them will legitimately try to help you out, but of course the nature of their profession means they can never be a true ally. Not for long, anyway.
I've been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I've also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we'd be professional about it. I've never been let go.
Yeah this matches my experience. HR person is always the one to have a bottle of whisky squirreled away for a good time.
I've been let go twice. It's shitty, but I realise they have very little power in a situation like that.
This is why I have so far refused to be a people manager. I'm not going to be able to emotionally handle laying someone off.
This sent a bad chill along my spine. PTSD.
That's why I decline meetings without a proper agenda. No agenda = lack of preparation = waste of time = not a meeting.
I look at this smile and think "There is no HR in Ba Sing Se"
I got an invite for a meeting the next morning. I was like "they wouldn't be that stupid, right?". Well, they were. I had time to prepare something funny but I was disarmed by their stupidity.
She looks like a whitewashed Victoria Newman from the boys.
Who, Anne Hathaway?
It has to be a Friday too.

I don't get it, why does she need these projects for?
