@OP - give us some deets and maybe we can help calm your nerves. What type of call was put on your calendar? I really didn't think deloitte did them over the phone. I was in the office with a friend when she got laid off last month. They are VERY protective of your phone and laptop which doesn't lend well to firing over the phone

An SM told me that, during the recession, the layoff meetings would be fairly impromptu but they would always tell you to "bring your laptop" to the meeting.

So it was in person?

Yes, always

It would be really bad form to fire someone over the phone or email. It's always in person.

Okay at least I can breathe a little better

@D2 did your friend see it coming? Did they know the nature of the meeting before hand?

That's my biggest fear about getting laid off, losing my phone or phone number temporarily. I use my work and personal phone together because I didn't want to look like a drug dealer, but now I'm scared about leaving

@D3 I didn't want to give out too much info bc I still want to stay somewhat anonymous in case they are on this app. But the invite didn't say much of anything at all

They don't take away your stuff immediately but give you till the end of the day

No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
