Lmao in my case my computer just randomly restarted and asked for a security pin while I was busy working on something. I learned through our WhatsApp group that we got laid off lol.
Call with HR was when I already knew and nothing like this, I tried to get them to let me keep my $7k MacBook, no chance, literally everything was non negotiable so the call was absolutely pointless.
You should have kept the Mac, seriously. I often had no response trying to get laptops back from employees and was asking HR if we couldn't get a form for new hires to sign regarding company equipment returns. Can't remember the reasoning but HR told me the company is basically powerless to force the issue. In any case, the legal costs of suing you would quickly stack higher than $7K.

It would be nice to get some time in advance as notice. Like Trump get 4 years as he can't be fired for some unknown reason even though he has and is still doing illegal things(tarifs without kongress approval etc.)...

That's why I decline meetings without a proper agenda.
No agenda = lack of preparation = waste of time = not a meeting. -

Had a 3rd shift guy I was trying to fire get 3 extra shifts out of us by just not showing up to the meeting and not answering his phone. HR wouldn't let me just shut his account off until the 3rd one. That dude was a real POS for other reasons but I can't knock him for taking advantage of bureaucratic nonsense.

Never bought a Mac before, but what the hell are the specs in a $7k Macbook? I didn't think they went over $3k.

You thinking of Sydney Cole Alexander?

The big ones start at 3k.

I've been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I've also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we'd be professional about it. I've never been let go.
Yeah this matches my experience. HR person is always the one to have a bottle of whisky squirreled away for a good time.
I've been let go twice. It's shitty, but I realise they have very little power in a situation like that.

In outside sales so everyone is working remote. I get an email around 7PM that we are going to have a meeting tomorrow (on line of course) at 3PM. I had heard that a big layoff was coming. But why a call at 3PM instead of first thing in the morning if I was going to get laid off. Later that evening I get calls from friends about the 10AM meeting. I told them I never got a message about it, but I did about a 3PM meeting.
What they did was all the people they were laying off were on the 10AM meeting. It was half the total sales force. at the 3PM meeting for the survivors, they explained to us what was going on.
This just happened a month or so ago at my place of employment... except there were no invites. No meetings. It went more like
9am: Hey, where did my chat with so and so go? Friggin teams...
11am: Now the other one is missing? Wtf?
1pm: Outside TM: Hey... dumb question, but do you have as many people on your team as you did yesterday?
Email Invite for 1:30PM has entered the chat

Sure, I'll gladly send the laptop back, you'll just have to pay my hourly freelance rate for the labor involved. My rate is $240,000/hr, I'll have it shipped out within 30 business days of payment. Alternatively, feel free to send a courier for pickup, my current address is 189 Beaker St, McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

Where the fuck do y'all work that your HR "rep" looks like Anne Hathaway? Every company I worked for had a lady that looked like she retired after thirty years of proctoring detentions at a public highschool.
Everyone in HR at my current company is hot. It almost seems like a prerequisite.

Yeah but they would hold back the severance pay until they received the laptop, they have done this before lol

Apparently being a child fucker isn’t a reason to get fired either

Do they get special training on how to lie with a straight face?
It's a prerequisite to get the job in the first place.

Well at least its suspect enough to prepare :). I once came in at 9am and we had random people funneling everyone into a conference room with HR people to tell us our department would no longer be needed.
