My entire web team got laid off from a major car company. Right before we got paid our yearly bonus and right before I went on my paternity leave.
I work for a European company, and we had a major US car company as a client. 6 month ago they abruptly stopped working with us and fired a bunch of their engineers, and now they hired again and are trying to negotiate a new deal with us.
Your story might be an answer to why
Corporate life.
Why protect them?
Maybe worried about looking personally identifiable. It's understandable.
Because they are giving us a tiny severance for being quiet. I'll take what I can get.
