If you're being fired

> The invite will be titled “Meeting regarding your role at Klarna”.

lol ouch! They should make it a gamble where everyone has a meeting and you don't know what the outcome will be! But since thats even more resource intensive I would much prefer a mass pre-recorded zoom call over that.

I can understand that the former thing has better PR than the latter thing. But I think employed Americans are more adept at the fickle nature of their employment, whereas when the news articles go out about a mass zoom meeting firing, it gets the attention and hot takes from a bunch of more disconnected unemployable Americans and out of the loop people from other developed nations chiming in.

Another indicator consumer spending is dropping and costs are going through the roof. This is probably the first of a bunch of layoffs sadly. I expect Finances (Banks / Mortgage providers) are going to be aggressively reducing headcounts in the near future. One side of my family is heavily in that industry and they're all extremely nervous.

Sorry for anyone that lost their role, it's always tough to lose a job regardless of the company they worked for. I wish them all success and luck finding their next endeavor.
