Some of this seems like they're trying to find criticism where it's barely warranted. When are you supposed to notify someone of a meeting in which they'll be fired? Too late and it seems like it's last minute. Too soon and they might anxiously stew on it for a week.

Not enough indication of what the meeting is about, and they'll be surprised. Give them too much indication and their anxiety will balloon.

I've been on the receiving end of this as an employer in a really small business. e.g., a keystone employee was leaving and with awkward timing. There's no brilliant way to do it.

My vote for a 'convert submitted amp links to normal links' automatism on HN. Or simply a block like 'You are trying to submit the amp version of a page. Please submit the original'. By the way, shouldnt amp versions automatically have a 'Go to the real page' link on the top or something? I see a totally absurd version of the page on my 30" monitor. With no obvious way to go to the normal page. Not even the url has a…

AMP pages load faster on suboptimal internet. I'm pretty ok with OP having used this.

The irony. The original site loads instantly without JS but the amp one takes longer to load and will not display anything (also without JS).

If you leave voluntarily, I can see your contract could plausibly deny you points on sales completed after you walked. If you are on commission and the tail payment is not paid because they sacked you without cause, I would be surprised if the payment was not still due. It feels like its a part of the conditions of employment you can't avoid by firing somebody simply to downsize. Doubtless some truly shitty employmen…

There’s also a very good chance that it you are terminated and offered severance, your severance package is contingent on your waiver of all potential claims against the company.

Amp adds nothing to make a site faster. The opposite. It adds some mandatory libraries. It just imposes some restrictions on what a page can contain. So the version companies make to be included in amp might be smaller then their original version for that reason.

We should downrank slow bloated sites directly instead. Then companies would have an incentive to make their sites fast from the start.
