I read this from Mannerisms today about how some great companies carried out the layoff in their innovative ways. Some really made me laughed and inspired!

In 1975, Fairchild announced the names of the shortlisted staffs over the public address (PA)system, with a message to pick up their final check and head for the nearest exit. From that on, the staffs were cringing in fear of hearing their names broadcasted over the PA system.

Another famous company,Schlumberger is worth mentioning here. One morning as workers arrived, they were barred from entering by security guards who instructed them to remain in the area. After everyone had arrived, an HR rep came out with a portable “bullhorn” and announced that everyone was to go to their desks. Anyone who had a box on their desk was to place all their personal items in the box and go to HR for an exit interview. Those without a box were supposed to get to work.Needles to say, not much useful work got done that day.

Aeroflex, another world renowned corp was very good at this layoff thing. The system was quite fun,quipped the commentator.

Every one was told to be at their desk at say 10:00 and an email would come round then. If you got the email you were out.

Then at 10:10 a second email came out to the rest, saying get back on with work.

Layoff msg conveyed via email

Selfishness will happen when layoff starts......

Don’t you agree that these 3 methods are Ghastly but funny at the same time!! Nabei betul…..

This serves as a good reference to the HR department to learn how to be innovative in carrying out layoff….

And pls learn how to cope with layoff should you be one of the unlucky lots.

The last day in Hong Kong was equally eye-opening for us.  In the morning, we finally had a chance to try HOng Kong’s Dim Sum. We also found out that most of the chinese restaurants do serve dim sum in the morning.
So, we went to one which was nearby to our hotel.
