@oso+ At least they had the guts to do layoffs in person back then. The most chicken sh-t thing I've ever seen is the request for everyone to work from home so they don't have to lay you off in person.

2005 2006 2007 those were the years people were literally running scared the week of layoffs and the looks on everyone’s faces you would never forget it. Getting called into conferences room and poof they were gone immediately.
