Layoffs are a common theme these days among all kinds of companies. In general, Layoffs are bad for the people affected.
I want to hear stories from people who had a layoff that was done with dignity, respect and humanity. Please describe what made your experience of the layoff great and which company were you part of.
How a company handles Layoffs reflects a lot on the culture of that company.
So let us highlight companies that do Layoffs well.
There is nothing really dignified about layoffs. Intelligent employees don't give a damn about CEO and HR scripts. They will be happy if you give them 6 months of severance pay.
There's nothing pleasant about layoff! My personal experience was extremely humiliating and absolutely no regard for an individual's contribution to the organisation. They will go about their business without even pausing for a second!

Meesho gave a pretty decent severance package in the latest layoff and is also helping with outplacement support to the laid off folks

Checking if there is anyone here who has had to layoff people... How did you do take it mentally and emotionally? Looking for answers from middle managers and HR folks who have to execute decisions taken by others.
It's getting dirtier by the day and sure some orgs are still up to their dirty tricks.
