    Randomly got a message from one of my reports asking what this “Mandatory Team Meeting” was on his calendar. I hadn’t been invited, but it was our whole company shutting down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Random team meeting on the first Friday after I got hired. “Telltale has lost it’s funding and everyone is being let go”. Fun week.

      Hey, that happened to me, too!

      I got scheduled for a mandatory meeting with 1 hour notice. During lunch.

      I asked my boss what it was. He didn’t know either. I joked that it was us being shut down.

      Sure enough, 1 hour later we were both writing LinkedIn recommendations and helping each other find jobs after it was announced that our whole studio was being shut down by corporate and myself plus all my coworkers were all now jobless.
