Theres a reasoning behind it: if you fire them on a Monday they get a whole week to get their job situation in order. If you fire on a Friday they just sit and stew on it helplessly all weekend. Depending on how large your company is, they had a group of people doing risk evaluations about the employees who were being laid off.I used to participate in the high risk evaluations for an old employer because I handled internal investigations and had access to everyone’s email and computer use.There were a few people let go who required a much higher level of oversight on the way out the door.It’s terrible - Christmas ruined for families, plans cancelled, no hope of responding or being able to get recompense for potentially wrongful dismissal.It’s abhorrent, in my eyes, and I’d never, ever, ever work with the kind of company that does it.To be fair, it’s not as bad as some.The worst i ever heard of was a company that called a snap all employee meeting in the car park.A hundred or so employees all went out, they locked the doors and told them they were all out of a job as the company was closed. Their possessions would be forwarded on to them.Car and house keys, purses, wallets in jackets? Yeah, we’ll get them sent onto you.I feel like that faceless approach is exactly how you make people snap even faster. How did we ever get so inhuman? When long time employees get fired we should be offering therapy and job placement and at least enough severance to pay rent next month. We've gone insane as a society and the unavoidable result is stuff like today.
