I have the unfortunate task of laying off 15 individuals from my team next week. A lot of quality people and some good friends who have no idea this is coming. These will comprise of individual conversations and only me delivering the message. HR won't be there given the magnitude of affected people across the company.
This is my first time having to get rid of anyone not meeting expectations. I've never been layed off either, so not much experience on either side.
HR has provided a script and has advised against fielding any questions. The common advice I hear is stick to the script and leave it at that.
I'd appreciate any feedback or advice, either from folks that have given the separation message, or received one.
**Posting under a sock as some may know me with my other handle.
