My company did a massive round of layoffs last week

They hired an outside consulting company to come in a slash “redundant” teams with zero rubric. People on the verge of promotions, folks who drank the kool-aid and defended them, managers and directors — no one was sparred. And then they have the fucking audacity to say today in a big Q&A forum “there’s a voluntary severance option, we want you to want to be here, leave if you don’t”. (The voluntary severance isn’t as good as the lay off package). It’s nuts. Lol this is what cults do to strengthen loyalty. It has been kind of amusing watching all the kool-aid drinkers freak out though. Their beloved company tossed them away without even looking at their work. That’s what we are to them: a ducking number. Burn it all down.
