Several large companies
laid large numbers
of their employees off
via email this week.
I understand
why they would choose
to end employment that way
– It’s emotionally easier
for management
doing the layoffs.
Management
aren’t put at risk
for possible violence.
Management can lock
employees out of systems
immediately.
But, if you’ve noticed,
this is ALL about management,
about THEIR comfort,
about THEIR safety.
It is cruel and cold
to the employees
being laid off.
These employees
are more likely
to self harm.
They will
never work for that company
again.
And they likely won’t
care about their next employers,
their next jobs.
It will merely be a job for them
or, as corporate is calling it,
‘quiet quitting.’
Their productivity will be
complete sh*t.
Know the consequences
when you go this route
with layoffs.
And know,
when you hire again,
that the job market has changed
due to companies
taking these actions.
