apparently any leader (level unknown) with someone being laid off needs to attend a required "training" that basically is just CYA for the org to say they did it and prepared leaders to handle it. From what ive heard, this happens a few days before the actual date...
if any PL's get invited to this, we'll know its happening within a couple of days.
@1ean+1oWR2Sjg That’s a Saturday! Stop spewing BS!
@1htx+1oWR2Sjg Two weeks notice is something an employer needs to earn, not taken for granted.
guess not enough people left voluntarily so they're forcing anyone's hand who was stalling putting in their two weeks....
November 11th!
Jesus Christ! I was planning on being gone by now and now it's November?
I can confirm everything in this thread is true.
Have been told it’s been moved to November and that more specifics will be given on Oct 16.
@1xfd+1oWR2Sjg are those sources the easter bunny and tooth fairy?
It has been pushed to November - confirmed from multiple people.
is it an virtual training or a scheduled training?
All those MDs and directors who used to post on here about how much they know have suddenly all gone quiet
Managers don't do any work.. they just bicker and try to take credit from others. Really.. I call on any manager tonpost what they really do... Nothing!
Knowing they’re going to this “training” is a long-shot. I don’t know a single manager that informs their team of their whereabouts or schedule. Most days, I don’t even know if my manager is working or off. They never reply to IMs or calls. If they’re sitting next to me, I wouldn’t know if they were on a training call. Their schedule isn’t made known to us.
It’s not training on how to conduct a layoff. It’s training on how to handle it when an employee gets laid off..
The employee will still get the mass notification and the leader just has talking points
Yeah. I've been through the training. It was just watching a few scenes from the movie Up in the Air where George Clooney teaches Anna Kendrick how to fire people.
How long is said meeting?
Yes this has happened in prior layoffs. Is this layoff too big for that? Too big to handle on an individual basis?
