> Knowing the company is doomed in a month or 2 and not alerting employees is not a good thing yo do, in my book

Has anyone at Convoy claimed this?

Not just alerting, but offering severance. No one at Convoy was offered severance - now or in the past month. I edited my earlier comment to reflect my meaning.

Separate questions. You said the company knew it was "doomed in a month or 2 and [did] not [alert] employees." I've seen them messaging pain since their multiple rounds of layoffs last year and this [1], as well as in August [2]. Moreover, I haven't seen claims of being blindsided (as Yellow drivers were).
