What would you think if you came in one day and your employer had sent you an email like this?
|
FROM: Management
TO: Joe Employee
SUBJECT: Layoff Information
Dear Joe Employee,
As mentioned in previous meetings, we have decided to give layoff notices by email rather than in person. We spent much time collaborating and while we want to keep all of our good employees, even some of our best employees are in positions that have been eliminated for the company to remain above water. We feel that you are one of our best employees, so it is with great regret that we must inform you that your position has been eliminated. This is effective at close of business today. Based on your time here, you will receive 16 weeks of severance pay. We will need you to report to Conference Room B and sign all termination paperwork and turn in your security badge. Thank you for your service and we regret that this decision had to be made. Please have your desk cleaned out by close of business today. We will keep you in mind if there are any future opportunities.
Thanks,
Management (a.k.a The Man)
PS. Security will be by to ensure that no one forgets anything. Please leave your number with them on your way out tonight in case they find you have forgotten anything. |
