No, you get management to talk to each worker. Are you really defending the corporation for doing this?

As I said the process of firing 1700 people in any way isn't easy? Would you feel better as a worker if your co worker next to you went into a 1 on 1 meeting on monday, came back and cleaned out his desk. Then that process continued right around you over multiple days. How destructive would that process be for the workers, the company and the confidential information of the company?
When you are firing this many people there are a lot of risks/infeasabilities to announcing it to each worker individually. Granted, they need to do more for these people than just have a conference call and they should have follow up calls/workshops with managers/HR to go over rights/options etc.

happens all the time, but layoffs before year end are common because they'd have to payout a bonus to somebody they didn't want to keep if they kept them into the following year

I was working for a pharma company earlier this year. Everyone received an email to report to a specific room in a specific buildings. I was one of those in the big room and 40% of the company (including me) got laid off that day. I have no faith in biotech companies, they continue to lay people off because no one wants to invest in this economy

Do things the RIGHT way. I was laid off in May...and it wasn't anything as inhumane as this...and that was from AT&T, a company with 70,000 employees.
It's bad enough you laid them off, but to take away their dignity as well? It's a slap in the face. Companies are so concerned w/their bottom line, they dont care HOW they treat people....but, will spend millions to try & clear their tarnished reputations in PR smears such as this.
