My last workplace was ruthless. No meeting got put on your calendar. HR and a senior manager just waited until your Teams status went green and direct called you from a group, then fired you right then and there.
Last layoff - real human beings- "Do you have time to drive to the office for a meeting? We are so sorry, business isn't going well an we are having to cut whole departments. You are laid off the end of the week plus severence. Return the truck laptop, phone etc then. We'll transfer the phone number to you, the supplier contracts etc that you brought in, we will sign off to you as well."
Layoff before slimy corporate shills (all laid off a year later) teams meeting labeled as business discussion". Surprise, HR is on the call. You are not allowed to drive the company vehicle. At the end of this call IT will cut off the laptop phone and we'll arrange for for someone to go to you house and collect company property.
So I drove the truck for 4 hours to collect all the stuff from my 3 offices. Then grabbed a guy from the last stop to drive the truck back after I finished cleaning it out at home. While I was driving I called up the new job I was supposed to start 2 months later and said, "Hey you guys OK will me starting next month instead?" I then took a nice 3 week vacation. Getting severance from a job I was going to quit, chef's kiss .
