WTF. A pre-recorded call to let people go is the most cowardly way to treat employees.
People have given countless hours to this company, and this is how they’re repaid? The company is clearly going downhill if this is the standard of leadership and respect being shown.
The very least you could do is thank people for their contributions and explain why these decisions are being made. Instead, employees are treated as if their dedication meant nothing.
Stephanie, Bob, and TPO should be ashamed of how this has been handled. In some cases, people have sacrificed personal time, family time, and even left other jobs to come here, only to be dismissed through a pre-recorded message.
This is inhumane, disrespectful, and completely contrary to any values a company should stand for. The way employees have been treated is absolutely disgusting.
