How do u feel witnessing co workers getting fired or forcing to leave?

[Anonymous]

I ve been working in small companies. Witnessing people come and go and sometimes my turn to leave. It s like hell people been mean to each others.

The salary isn't high and lot of things to tolerate.

I haven't saved much money and look back just wonder what s the purpose of all that.

I have seen so many people being mean and gross to others. Usually a way to express how much the boss or manager dislike the staff. Weird how they won't fire them directly.
Had to put him though bullying,
Another way showing how important money is. U can't be noble , have good heart without money.

I've been around close to a hundred people who got fired or laid off. They were roughly split between three companies, with a handful at other companies.

At one company I went to work one day to find a sign on the door saying they permanently closed. There was no other information. I never did find out what happened, although there were rumors.

Another company was a tech startup company with about $50 million in funding. A hundred engineers, programmers and support ain't cheap. So $50M doesn't last more than a couple years. One day they had a company-wide meeting when they basically said "Never mind. The tech has problems and the product will cost too much." A week later they laid off a third of their employees. Eventually they were all gone - all the employees and all the $50M gone.

Another company was also a startup. They just loved to fire people for strange reasons. I think in the 15 months I worked there, more than half got fired. Only one guy in engineering got fired though. He told someone outside of engineering what he was working on. That was a big no-no and an instant firing.
