I know this is a joke, but this is why my coworkers and I were muted during the meeting we were laid off.

I received a meeting invite the night before for 9am with two HR people and some middle manager above me that I never met. It was obvious what the meeting was going to be.

No meeting that has an HR person on it is a good thing.

I unequivocally disagree as I once conducted a training session teaching them what Gmail labels were - was very fruitful. ;)

Sorry that you got laid off, it sucks. Hope you are doing better now!
