Restructuring Announcement

on the positive side, it's a small thing monetarily, but retention of company laptops is a nice goodwill gesture

Eh, from the company's perspective this is logistically easiest--the laptop's value is hardly worth the effort.

We always let our ex-employees keep their laptops because a. why not? and b. I don't need laptops for positions that no longer exist.

“Welcome to your new job at HighSpeed TopFlight. Here’s an old, used laptop.”

I’ve had that happen to me at a new job. It disnt make my new employer shine.
