I’m surprised they didn’t get the RIF letters on Friday afternoon......that’s when everyone got theirs at my facility back in the 90s.....the letters were handed out in the cafeteria and then we were all routed to the parking lot with no detours allowed.

There was a big reduction in force at my place of employment in 92. They had two security guards come to your desk with a box. They let you clean out your desk while they waited. The then took your ID badge and any company keys, pagers or other things related to your job and escorted you to your job.

No letter or prior notification of your separation from your employment.

Word I got from the guards is that there was quite a variation in the response from those given a box. One that I heard about threatened to come back kill people.

“One that I heard about threatened to come back kill people.”

That’s exactly the reaction the end of the week notification was meant to mitigate where I was.....and yeah, when HR did the mass handout there was armrd security all over the place.

My facility actually provided a grace period of several months before separation......by the time the dust settled I ended up not missing a day......that whole experience freakin’ trip, I can tell you that. SMH
