My friend just got laid off along with 400 other employees by dialing into a pre-recorded Zoom message. Her manager never even called to say goodbye. The virus may be out of your control, but how humanely you handle it is not.

No dick head, the decision to "eliminate" 400 freaking employees en masse via freaking zoom is the fault of top level executives. Seriously just dedicate a day or two to call each employee up personally - they dedicated way more time and deserve that at least.
400 calls @ 20 min each would take someone 4 weeks to make if they did only that 40 hours a week. You think if a company is hurting so bad that they do a lay-offs that that’s fair and good use of time to the other 70% vs doing it fast?This is war time. No time for that nonsense.

20 minutes to fire someone is extremely generous, also why the heck would you assume only one guy has access to a phone?

Start a company from scratch that creates thousands of jobs and has to navigate wartime to survive. when you lay-off 400 people from a disaster two weeks prior, let’s see if you call each person vs tending to the flock.pic.twitter.com/88ptWYMS6H

There’s plenty of time for “that nonsense” when the alternative is destroying all of the good will your company has built with consumers. Bird is in a competitive space. Consumers have, and will seek, alternatives simply because they don’t like you.

I bet you 99% of their customers have no idea about their layoffs.

Tendentious argument & bad biz reasoning from a "human capital"/HR best practices perspective but I suspect you already know that. TY for adding yr voice to the chorus of tone-deaf C-suiters. This is not "nonsense" & the war we're fighting is against a virus not common decency.

I don't think he's picked up that you're calling him an ass in nicer terms. But yes I fully agree, now more than ever we should strive to be a little more decent and empathetic.
