Friday afternoon meetings with no topic are a bad sign
Got laid off end of the day on a Tuesday, 1st of the month.
Friday at 5 for me.
Thursday morning for me too! And before the end of the month so you basically don’t have insurance and have to pay for cobra
Usually Thursday, especially if you’re freelance. Usually you get to leave at end of day and have the Friday off.
I got laid off on a Thursday morning. Didn’t seem to be a logic to it
I was laid off on a Thursday morning
It varies. Might be right before a pay cycle. I’ve seen that. But I’ve also heard never on a Friday as it just gives that person the weekend to “stew.” Monday allows for that person to immediately reach out to Business contacts and get the ball rolling.
I got laid off at the end of a pay Vicki. Think it was the 30th if the month or something. Friday afternoons are pretty standard too.
From the people I’ve spoken to who had to make those decisions, it’s as soon as possible. If they’re bleeding money (and still give out severances), they don’t wait to do it on any special day of the week. They most likely won’t do it at the end of the day, though, given all the paperwork that they need to review with you, and computers they have to collect, etc
I got laid off in the mornings of a Thursday and a Tuesday
We had one on a Monday morning
Thursday morning here too. It was the 14th so last day of the current pay cycle
Monday. Ya never know
