I've been laid off a few times in my career, and in some cases, it was in a large meeting room with others, or my boss just tells me 1-1, or I get an email at 5am along with everyone else who lost their job. Never has this happened to me.

I saw this post recently where someone at Webflow had their access cut off but no one told him if it was an IT problem or if he lost his job. So he posted on Linkedin and tagged his CEO and his boss.

These corps continue to make fools of themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to "use AI" to lay people off and the dumb AI agent had a bug in it since it was written by an H1B with a fake degree.

I would fire that employee just for being so insuborinate and condescending

aren't they stating they are FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY and would have to relocate their family?!?

doesn't the OP make 26,000 posts bemoaning foreign workers taking our jobs?

ipso facto the OP should ACTUALLY BE DELIGHTED AT THIS NEWS.

What will you fire him? He is already fired. The post came AFTER they locked him out.
Keep up.

Just highlighting our corporate innovations by HR teams. Which is why we need them.

Earlier they would tell people in person. Now HR has innovated this new ghost-layoff. It could happen to you or your kids.

Maybe the next innovation is to have an AI robot prowling around the office and to decide on its own whom to throw out, it just grabs the employee and throws them outside the building.

Fully automated running on Claude AI. The manager won't even know that the employee is gone freeing him to do more work. Profit.

Why would I give a **** if some HR person lays me off, or some computer? Or getting an email, or doing it in a large room?

I was laid off and it was an HR chick and I had to correct her narrative several times. I was hired back at the same company just a few years later and I retire in about a month. Would have rather gotten an email so I wouldn't have had to go into the office.

I think there was a glitch in the system. This person was actually laid off years ago, but for some reason they kept getting a paycheck. So they just fixed the glitch.

I take it you haven't seen much of the OP's threads because this one is nothing.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

That isn't the point.
The point is that companies have outsourced laying off to an agent which is screwing it up as always, and is now locking people out without them knowing whether they got laid off or are still employed.

In other words, we have become a 3rd world country.

And we know that the laying off was outsourced how?

are you making up reasons to be outraged today since no CEO did a bad thing?

Most companies' IT departments have a "termination package" that can be executed easily and quickly, so that by the time an employee is walking out of the meeting where they are being let go, they no longer have access to Outlook, Teams, or any company files.

The issue with them being able to be executed easily and quickly is it can be run on the wrong person by accident. Happened to me once. Unfortunately it was during Covid while we were all remote, so suddenly being cut off from all communication made it difficult to find out what was going on. Quite the high blood pressure morning.

No. That IS the point. Why not outsource laying employees off? Out of the millions being laid off, you list one example of screwing up.

Outsource it.

It fits the narrative for Infinite hate for CEO's.

At this point, Infinity is just AI spamming Texags that all corps and CEO's are bad.

This explains a lot.

This seems like more of a YOU problem than a company, IT or CEO problem.

Office Space already did this. Try to keep up OP

Also, this might be a new low for infinity threads. Approaching 2 teas territory.

Couple that with an intense hatred of corporations and CEOs and there you go.

Can confirm. All employees (roles) are also evaluated periodically for being potentially 'high risk'. Meaning, an employee in that role has enough power or access that they could do damage if disgruntled, so firing is coordinated and access is cut as soon as they are on the line with HR. A quick command logs them out of everything immediately and then disables their accounts.

People need to stop responding and the staff needs to just ban him. The posts are not constructive

Probably the least surprising thing I've ever read on this site.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Yeah, not a fan of this at all. I feel like there's some kind of social contract with have with fellow human beings to at least treat them decently. But human history and nature says different. Maybe AI will be more compassionate...

The one time I have been laid off, the idiot HR rep and 'manager' they had sitting in didn't even get my name right. I waited till they had read their spiel and were walking out the door when I corrected them about my name and told them to probably tell the other guy too because he's probably just as confused as I am.

The time I was laid off I got a call at home about 30 mins before I was leaving to catch a flight to Singapore. It happens. It was actually quite liberating. I owed them absolutely nothing more from that moment on.

One example that may not be true. That's the best part. Some random loser posts it and OP just assumes it's true because of his hate.
