Ask HN: What do you want to see in a mass-layoff notice?
4 by sequoia | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Every time there's a mass layoff notice linked here people are really angry at one or more phrasings contained in the announcement. Most recently[0], people objected to the CEO expressing regret over the layoffs and referring to employees per company lingo (googlers, metamates, in this case "birds"). I've also seen complaints about timing of layoffs (i.e. near holidays even if they're 8 weeks away), timing of public notifications (public statements too soon, public statements too late), the method of private notification (big mass email is too abrupt, telling people one by one leaves people in suspense, cutting off systems access is too abrupt despite being a reasonable security practice in most cases ). So what does everyone want to see in a mass-layoff notice? I invite everyone (especially critics) to try their hand in the comments: write a public notice about laying off 30% of your staff that you think will be received well and not be considered noxious by readers. What does your ideal mass layoff notice look like? Show us! 0: https://ift.tt/gWAxqP1
