Is Zoom becoming the new 'Zoom town' for layoffs?

0x7371…407fRemember those 'Zoom towns' that popped up during the pandemic? People moving to cheaper areas and working remotely. Now I'm seeing articles about those same people facing layoffs, and it got me thinking about our own company. We rely so heavily on our own platform for communication, and it's ironic that some companies are even using Zoom calls for the actual layoff notification. Not saying it's happening here, but it's a stark reminder of how disconnected the process can become when you're not physically present. It feels like a double-edged sword. On one hand, it enables remote work and flexibility. On the other, it can make tough decisions feel even more impersonal. Has anyone here had a close call, or seen signs that make you worry about your job security, perhaps related to the broader trend of remote workers being more vulnerable?
