An employee (@AnonymousEmployee123) shared a poignant post about a recent layoff at their company.
Around 80% of the team was let go, and the post, with over 9,400 upvotes, details the impersonal handling of the situation. There was no chance to bid farewell to colleagues, leaving many feeling adrift.
Despite personal struggles among those let go, the poster expressed surprise at being retained, despite their lax work habits. The guilt of staying while others were let go weighed heavily. Comments on the post varied, with some suggesting a pay raise in exchange for increased workload, while others advised seeking new opportunities promptly.
