A record of how companies treated people on the way out.
This is a record of how companies treated people on the way out — specifically, the ones that got it badly wrong. CEOs who published op-eds labeling their own laid-off employees obsolete. Executives who labeled their own laid-off employees "low performers" — including people with exceeds expectations reviews. Companies that locked thousands out of their laptops before a single message was sent. Leaders who announced record revenue and mass layoffs in the same blog post.
Not every layoff belongs here. Companies shrink, pivots fail, markets shift — and people lose jobs through no fault of their own. The layoff may have been necessary. The way it was done was not.
Every entry is sourced. If you know of an incident that belongs here, send it in.
