Bird laid off 406 people in a 2-minute Zoom call. The founder / CEO didn't even do it himself, he got his comms person to read out the script. Staff on the call had their email / slack accounts instantly deactivated.https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/23/21231802/bird-electric-scooter-company-workplace-culture-layoffs …

The via zoom bit is much less notable than the in two minutes bit and the via script read off by your comms person bit

(and tbh, while i can see how account deactivation is necessary in certain scenarios, from my experience it's far from normal in media and I'm kinda surprised you'd do it at a news business. People can't even email farewells etc?)

I quit via a phone call and disconnected my computer from WiFi so they couldn't disconnect it until we came to an agreement.
