Okay have permission to reveal it was @BirdRide. WITH A PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE. Fuming.

1/5 Layoffs are never easy or comfortable to do and COVID-19 has impacted the way they are done in at least the near term. Bird had to make the difficult decision to eliminate 30% of its staff.

eliminate your CEO and other top-level executives. If their mismanagement caused you to grow outside of a safety net fund they don't deserve to lead.

A pandemic that forced people to stay at home for months and decimate birds revenue is...the CEO’s fault? Is it a waiters fault for not having a 2nd stream of income after he’s laid off?

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?

This company would have over 1000 employees. You're telling me that they have a single HR rep responsible for contract management? You're telling me there's a single manager in charge of 400 people? No dude lol
