Be better when making employees redundant - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Edelman

The recent lay off was conducted in such a sly manner, something you wouldn’t expect from “apparently the top PR firm in the world”. Making someone redundant by telling them that they aren’t enough or performing well, instead of the honest real reason. 2 hours later, the business announces lay offs over a meeting. This could have been communicated so much better and could have let people go with respect. I was told to just submit my laptop and leave in an hour. No goodbyes, no farewell. Made us feel like we are the “bad people” while throwing extravagant farewell parties for even AAE’s who worked for 3 months and decides to resign. This whole lay offs process made me feel extremely disrespected in a company I joined and truly loved.
