Someone I work with, a friend, was told today is last day.
Can’t they just reduce everyone’s salary instead of layoffs like some cultures do?

I forgot to mention, you will get layoff on a pay week.
You get an invite first thing in the morning. One hour later, all your logins are disabled and HR sends you a FedEx link to print out to return your laptop, etc.....
@ws I mean those of us who haven't been RIF'd before are curious about how it will go down. I thought that's the point of this site? If you are not in office on that day how do they go about it? Do they wait until you show up? Do they do it differently if you are remote? How do they collect your assets if "no notification" - laptops, company cards, and other things you might not have with you? It is a reasonable question.
@s7 you leave your badge on the way out, what do you think he means
@rp What do you mean, no notice?
No notice¡
Will they layoff remote employees? Will they layoff RTO employees with less attendance?
Unfortunately it's other way around, executives and higher mgmt people get bigger bonus when mass layoffs happens
Executives make too much money, they should be the ones taking the pay cuts instead of anyone else first if they really don’t want layoffs to happen.
Rather than the staff taking a salary cut how about a cut in dividends instead?
Are you willing to take a pay cut so everyone can keep their job? How much? How many years would you be willing to take a pay cut since layoffs happen more years than not?
The only person I'm willing to change my pay for is my spouse, and they don't work here.
"Can’t they just reduce everyone’s salary instead of layoffs like some cultures do?"
You're free to go work for those cultures. That's a hard NO from me
Was it meeting or email? What was the subject? Were they on PIP?
What group? How were they notified?
