Companies suck. The UK has it right. They give several months notice.


We had a mini-RIF here last year and I had to let go of three people. I picked the names in January but didn't have to lay them off until July. I asked if I could tell them now so they could have the best shot at finding a new job and was told "absolutely not, you'll tell them in July."

Meanwhile my counterparts in London were telling their people in January, which only made everyone over here ask questions and get nervous. Because of the uncertainty, I had two people leave voluntarily that weren't on my list.

I hate that we do things so backwards sometimes.
