> For those who are directly affected by these changes, you will receive a calendar invitation within the next hour

Is it just me or does this suck a lot? Thousands of people unsure about their fate, refreshing their calendar, checking for... the lack of an invite? So much added stress and anxiety.

Surely they could send two versions of the email, specifying to each person if they are affected or not.

This is great. One hour? Last time we had layoffs I was watching my calendar daily for weeks! There was no timeline at all. I had anxiety every morning logging into work. I think that was a huge part of the burnout I'm currently experiencing.

At least there was a timeline. Last layoff at my company said invitations would be sent later today. No timeline on when. So people were sitting around all day wondering if they still had a job.
