15 years at a company, laid off via email.

15 years at a company, laid off via email.

15 years at a company, not a phone call.

15 years at a company, no word from the manager.

15 years at a company, no opportunity to give feedback.

15 years at a company. See ya.

"But hey we did so well with a severance package, it's better than average."

"The 'impacted' employees will always be part of the fam."

PLEASE remember this kind of stuff when you are:

*Considering backing out of an offer you accepted for a better one

*Considering leaving a company for a better opportunity

*Considering taking that recruiter call for a co. that looks intriguing

*Considering how much work-life balance you sacrifice for your 'work-fam'

They will 100% look out for number 1.

So should you.
