Good morning,
No one likes layoffs. Cutting people from your team is always a difficult decision, but the remote environment has made delivering the news infinitely more challenging. Losing a job already is a traumatic event for employees, and losing it through a computer screen can feel especially isolating. It’s no surprise companies have made headlines over the past two years for how they’ve bungled the task of letting workers go. When Peloton recently laid off of 2,800 people, employees witnessed colleagues disappear from Slack before they received the company's statement on the terminations. Better.com CEO Vishal Garg landed in the news after word got out about his tactless cutting of 900 employees on Zoom.
These are great examples of how not to handle remote layoffs. Experts say ultimately a remote layoff shouldn't look too different from an in-person termination--but execution is everything. Read on for how to make remote layoffs as painless as possible for everyone involved. |
