Companies mass tell people because word travels fast and they think it’ll be like ripping off a band aid. They think it’ll be better, but it’s not.

The whole day will be bad. It’ll become clear quickly that those with meetings scheduled are getting laid off. People will wait around for their turn. Others will get out of there fast.

When I got laid off, they divided the team up into two rooms. It turned out one was the people who were getting laid off, the other staying. It was apparently horrific.

I was actually on vacation at the time and not there to see it go down. Instead I had the founder call me on the phone to lay me off. He was more upset about it than me. I appreciated the personal call but found the “this is hard for me too” of the founder annoying at the time. I was losing my income. He still got to be the founder.
