Did they not check their email? They were supposed to have been notified by email.

Not everyone has work email outside of work. Not everyone starts work before going to work.

I shut down during off hours, 100%. One of the perks of not being front-line.

HOWEVER, I don't work at Google. Every Googler I encountered seems to be selected because they are naturally confused by the term "work-life balance" or look forward to vacation so they can spend time on projects that need deep focus.

So yes, "they didn't check their email?" does seem an appropriate comment to me

At least we know why those people were part of the layoffs

Not everyone reads personal email before showing up at work?

if they already deactivated their badges, they also probably lost access to their emails.

they are sending termination emails to people's personal addresses.
