What's this?

Had a team call today. It was announced two people are being laid off. They


were notified yesterday. For some reason no one thought to remove them from the team call today, which was brilliant. One of them called in, the other did not. Director announced their departures and how it's due to financial strains cause of COVID. She then went on to talk about all the shiRt we're trying to buy and how she's asking for approval to hire 4 consultants to help with all the work we're doing cause we're killing it. That was incredibly awkward.
