The day I got laid off, it was announced in a meeting that was scheduled about an hour in advance that same day. Rumors started flying as soon as the "mandatory" meeting invite went out, and about ten seconds after the terse announcement, I got my email. I barely had a chance to ask my coworkers who else was getting axed and say goodbye before I was locked out of all the systems thirty minutes later.

but employees had to give at least two weeks notice to take any PTO lmao

btw I thought I was a jaded commie about selling my labor before, but the experience of getting laid off and the indignity of begging for work for almost six months now has turned me into a hardened hater
