What's the best way to lay people off? I'd like to hear some management brainstorming on the subject. Although not a manager myself, I think about this kind of thing a lot and invariably come to some (probably naive) solution that's better than anything I've seen.

Dina, your company's method sounds like torture. What the hell is that?
"Go to this room and you're laid off, go to the other and you're safe, but GO HOME QUICKLY AND DON'T TALK TO ANYONE!!" Jeez. -- Sounds like someone's played too many adventure games with secret envelopes and messages on which one's fate is inscribed.

Blog of note! What does that mean, exactly? Are we famous now?
