Then locked out

Some Google employees were shocked to get to work and discovered that they have been fired.

The search engine outfit made the caring and sharing approach to HR by firing shedloads of employees by email. On the plus side this meant that managers did not have to face angry or depressed staff as they counted their bonus money. Negatively, it meant that if staff didnt check their email over the weekend they arrived at work to be discovered they had been locked out of the office and this is what happened.

Staff complained that security guards were rather efficient about checking badges and ordered staff to scan them to discover if they have been fired.
