I am not sure whether this is a normal process or a promising sign. Did anyone have the similar experience before?

The companies only care about getting fired employees out the door and off their books, and everything else is secondary. It's almost refreshingly honest - they're showing exactly how little they care about their employees and anything but themselves. <br /><br />Unfortunately (says he who has a Facebook account) if it doesn't matter to customers, they can keep doing what they want and not care (as long as the money comes in). I figure that small tech companies with short-term lifespans can pull this off, but I thought Weight Watchers actually had a reputation to lose.
