Is there even a slim chance this is not layoff related?

@ag Comcast is filled with sadist managers.
@af We honestly can't believe he did that.
@ae wooowwww that was incredibly insensitive (that's the nicest word I can use) of that manager
For those interested, it wasn't layoff related. I thing the guy (and a few of the rest of us on the team) might need a Xanax or something after that scare.
Any update ?
@ab In our group of about 12 people, which includes 4 managers, there has not been a single mention about a layoff.
Any manager with one iota of emotional intelligence would not put a surprise meeting on a subordinate's calendar this week for anything other than a layoff conversation. At least not with a 'hey this meeting is NOT for a layoff conversation, I need your input on X'
What group?
If it’s not normal that’s exactly what it is.
HR will not be there in meeting invite . But will show up .
@a1 HR was not visible on the invite I received, but they joined the call as soon as the meeting started.
@OP it depends on how the team usually operates. When it happened to me I knew immediately what it would be, because normally my manager would have Slacked me and asked for a quick huddle if something needed attention, he had never sent over a Teams meeting invite on short notice until that day.
Nope. Vaya con Dios.
@a1 HR could get dialed in to prevent giving it away.
If it's a quick 15 min meeting, I'd get the bags ready.
...um...whos it with? Who doesnt have crazy detective skills at this point looking up organization trees and job titles?
Is it just 1 on 1 or is there someone else? I thought HR had to be there.
