Well folks I just received a RIF (reduction in force) document. I should be okay but there are several people who just got plain "blindsided." The actual announcement was handled very poorly as the guy in charge had everyone in the office or on the phone for a 90 minute "town hall." After going through the goals for the next year he announces at the end of the meeting the RIF. But only they don't release the names....and they had no process in place to let you know that you were on the list or not.
So basically we had to wait 24 hours for someone to call you between the hours or 7-12 noon to tell you that you were [Mark May]canned...
They called everybody regardless if you were being canned or not...then it was yes you are being let go, here is your outgoing separation package and have a nice day...
My guy knew me so his voice was cracking and it was probably harder for him then me. However a buddy of mine got his call, knew the guy calling and the guy treated him like a complete stranger and he was off the phone in less than 60 seconds...
