absolutely mad (men)

I worked at this pretty exclusive ad agency. About max 115 people, we work with a lot of exclusive clients/projects.

So in light of being quarantined, on Monday, without absolutely ANY warning, the company decided to lay off 45 of its best employees w/o severance. And wanna know how they broke the news? Over a FUCKING video conference call, where they invited all 45 people to sit in a google hangouts meeting titled “COVID-19 Updates”, turning off everyone’s microphones besides the head of the company. They couldn’t even bother to call everyone individually.

Some of these people are the most talented, kind, and hard working people I’ve ever met. Some had been there 4 months, others 4 years. 45 people, and I was one of them.

But it’s whatever, most of the people left working there are too stuck up and self absorbed to even reach out to the rest of us to make sure we’re OK.

We don’t need em anyway, we’re in this and out of there together!
