OMG, the pun is killing me. But seriously, how pissed would you be if you got laid off out of nowhere with an email? That would enrage me on its own but if the HR team was so careless they attached cute little duckie photos...🤯😡

I would be apoplectic. I'm so confused as to how this can ever happen. I've never written a mass lay off email, but you'd think it'd be the sort of thing you quintuple check before hitting send on...

Accidents happen. If I had to guess, someone probably meant to send it to a peer who was collaborating on the assignment as a stress relief and forgot to remove it from the official communication.

Dumb? Yes. But it happens.

I get that sending the ducky picture was an accident I do but firing or laying off employees via email was pretty crappy anyway they could’ve sent some kind of formal communication and honestly I know typo is an accident happen but somebody should’ve double and triple checked the firing email before sending it off

What the duck?

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
