What's the worst layoff you've ever experienced?

Layoffs & Reorgs βœ‚οΈ

New here, I can't believe there's already a flair for this topic πŸ˜…

Novato site of Biomarin Pharmaceuticals has reduced headcount by 52% within 3 days. My entire department was essentially wiped out. The event was nothing short of distressing, and my head was spinning from the shock of it all. Morale is at an all time low, and the remaining employees are concerned about taking on substantially more work + the ~possibility~ of constantly having to train temps.

So, let me hear y'all's experiences, and which companies did they happen at?
