Some of them are legitimate, but even then there should be a form of respect where the term isn't used (though I observe they avoided the "hard-r" Zoomer because of the connotations).

And especially shouldn't be used in a case where you're laying off some of them.




I would find it odd if the only time you don't use that term on emails then happens to be layoffs.


Which is why I wouldn't use the term in general, at least from the top-down. It's inherently a "we're all in this together" term which especially isn't applicable when you aren't.


TBH I did not think much of this practice ever. I see that it's weird seeing that in layoff emails but I don't bat an eye normally.
