    Entire team gets let go before Christmas, only for company to post pictures of over-the-top Holiday party: 'That looked expensive and like a grand ol' time'

    Announcing layoffs right before the holidays is a pretty brutal move. If things are going downhill, one might as well wait until the new year to admit it. Let people have one more week with an "ignorance is bliss" mindset. What harm can that actually do?

    Unfortunately, that is only where the bad company decisions start in this story. Not only did HR let go entire teams of employees right before the holiday season, but they also proceeded with the office Christmas party as if nothing had happened. To make matters worse, HR thought it would be a good idea to post pictures of this extravagant and wildly expensive party the next day on LinkedIn, as if all the employees who were just let go wouldn't see it.

    Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. For more stories like this, check out this post about an employee who was excluded from a coworker's party and reported the incident to their CEO.
