Only if they failed to call you would you then be mad. Interestng I’d probably be unhappy either way. But yeah, I would be mad if a place I worked at for 20 years laid me off via email. That’s a huge sign of disrespect to a loyal employee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a huge sign of disrespect to a loyal employee. I heard a theory that they only sent emails to the people that they really liked since these people were less likely to hold a grudge.

Mister tech himself, Gutterboy, said that’s ridiculous. Gutterboy isn't tech. He just reinstalls windows on grandma's computer when she starts getting too many pop ups.

TK0001 97 Posted March 13, 2023 This thread is appropriately titled. Good lord, you people just log in every day, for years on end, just to fight each other. Doesn't it ever get exhausting? I've had my fair share of slapfights over the years, but they eventually get resolved. The Geek Club's perpetual horn-locking is the Great Red Spot of the messageboard community.

Horseman 1,542 Posted March 13, 2023 Quote Google, he continued, had intentionally over-hired engineers and tech talent to stop them from moving to other companies, a strategy he described as "pretty coherent." But, he added, that meant engineers had been happy to "be entitled, sit at their desks, and do nothing." Sounds like government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what I have to go on is that actual employee vs you, a poster on a lightly trafficked message board that seemingly has no work to do as well. I’ll go with her.
