The feeling is eating them inside so the redditor went online for some consolation
People in the comments were terribly confused how this can be counted as a lay-off if the OP and their coworkers are being replaced. They also didn’t understand where the company found the audacity to ask the people they were firing to train their replacements. Actually, Allison has never heard of a situation like this. She explains that “Being fired implies you’ve done something wrong and there’s an immediate consequence. Being laid off indicates that the organization has a mistake, there’s some bloat, and they wish you a gentle landing usually with a package.” But in OP’s case they are not getting any severance or benefits, nor they are let go the same day, so her best advise would be consult an employment attorney.
