It wasn't a surprise. She knew it was coming because others on her team were let go (she says this). She would have had a calendar invite with 2 random HR attendees...she also had her video recording setup.
Totally a surprise if you wake up and hear from a colleague they’ve been made redundant, minutes or hours later you get the same call when they day before everything was business as usual and the company is doing well.
A non surprise would be previous negative performance reviews, poor company performance, prior reorg announcements, announcing voluntary redundancies at a company meeting.
