Wow, being remote and then getting laid off over an email is easily the most dehumanising thing. Suddenly, I was logged out of my Slack and teams channels, and I'm a nobody to this company I worked for 1.8 years. It was hard enough that I had no good connections at work because I was remote, but to completely be cut off from them since my only communications with them was on Teams and Slack is sad. Maybe I'll try to find them on LinkedIn if I can remember full names. obody... absolutely nobody ... cares.

Sorry for what happened. It stings when they treat you like you are of no value. I'm sure it was a mass layoff, and then didn't take the trouble to personalize goodbyes. Still not okay

We are truly nothing to the companies we work so hard for. Even though I know that, it doesn't hurt any less when they do something that reminds me of it. I'm seriously sorry you are going through that. Please take care of yourself by resting and doing something you love, so you can reset and get into job-hunting mode.

It’s very telling how invisible you become to everyone you used to work with once you become laid off. When they need help one day, I know I won’t be helping them. Don’t worry. You got this. I’m sorry this happened to you. These companies really do not care.

Wow, that's really sad and dehumanizing. I'm sorry you're going through that. Getting laid off is an awful feeling and I wouldn't wish it on anybody! It's amazing how you can be part of a "family" and then nothing from one day to the next!

I definitely got more than an email. That's really sad! I'm sorry you had to go through that.
