Meh, gives them the weekend to adjust. Rather than suddenly not going into work the next day as planned
Agree with ACD. Plus, there is no good day for lay off. Think it's worse if it happens when you come back from your weekend.
They do it for the benefit of the people not getting laid off. It’s less dramatic than crushing souls on a Tuesday.
It's actually standard HR practice to avoid drama the next day, people going postal, etc. Those who got laid off and those who stayed, more specifically, get a breather and to be with friends/family for emotional support over the weekend.
That is exactly why they do it. I also read a story once about immigration raids on Wal Mart workers, where they would lock workers in the store to clean all night. Wal Mart coordinated with immigration people to do busts at 6 in the morning, so theyd still get a clean store. People suck, things are gross.
Layoffs are for Monday’s.
Promotions are for Friday’s.
Better than being laid off on a Tuesday. Give me that full week's worth of money!
