BU update meeting scheduled in 3 hours. Not only was I just accidentally included in an email where my team was discussing how to divvy up my work going forward but I also just had someone delete all my recurring meetings with them off their calendar. (Since I was the organizer, I got the notification)
Seems like our managers are letting our teams know BEFORE the actual laid off employees??

Was the editor of the Atlantic copied on the email?
I am sorry, OP. That was handled horribly and you deserve more respect than your manager showed you. It's obvious the info got leaked before they met with you and that is 100% your managers fault.
I’m not a fan of this
This blows
Wow. I am so sorry. That is a terrible way to find out. I hope you land on your feet soon.
Move some of your important files to obscure places that won't be found, but don't delete. Give your manager a small F-U on the way out.
WOW! I am so sorry. How completely unprofessional. As mentioned, I would say something to HR. This is all so unsettling; I wish you all the best and for something amazing to come your way. Take care.
Ridiculous! What BU?
Sorry to hear about the notice. Hopefully you enjoy the time off with family and find something within your time. With that being said very unprofessional from your manager. I would bring it up in your "exit interview" and be lucky this person is no longer your manager
That’s awful; very sorry.
Despite’s Geoff’s assurances that they’ll take “great care to treat all impacted employees with the dignity and respect they deserve”, I’m not all surprised things like this are happening.
Wish you all the best
This is incredibly unprofessional of them. I would definitely mention it in your meeting and follow up with a quick note to your HR rep if they’re not in the meeting.
I'm sorry that is happening to you. A good manager would have informed you of your situation prior to informing other team members. What BU/Function are you in?
Damn sorry to hear that. Could be them just informing you who were impacted?
What business and group are you in?
