Terminated while on vacation - pretty low

Wow, it's pretty low when they send you a text, you are over seas on vacation - you have been terminated effective immediately. Seriously they couldn't have waited a few days for someone to at least be back home to send this message, and told you cannot come back into the office, you are locked out.

What a Low Blow, disgraceful.

GTM I heard a lot of the mangers were MIA and couldn’t even have the decency or shall I say ba--s to be there including my own. Can you say COWARDS…

This feels fake. They didn’t text people notices.

Quite a few people were let go while on vacation. I was also one of them. They were quite clear what the date was. So it doesn’t bother me.

Long timer here, this is the first time I heard of someone got laid off WHILE on vacation. I am thinking your name is on the list already and the layoffs notices were sent out by batch so they won’t check if you’re on vacation or not.

However, there were many instances already that someone got walked out after they came back from vacation. The only difference is before they do it in person but now the notices went out via email.

I think it absolutely matters, it shows lack of respect for one and why not wait a couple of days, until someone is back home? What does that matter to them? At least they wouldn't be ending vacation on a low note. No rush to get back, but you also might not want to spend extra $$ right now either knowing you have no job.

Why does it matter where you are? Terminated immediately is terminated immediately. At least when you are on vacation you now know that there is no rush to get back.
