At a consulting company I worked at, we were told on Wednesday that layoffs affecting around 1/3 of the company would happen on Thursday and Friday and that the company was paying for an all-company event at a nearby pub-restaurant where the execs and senior managers did not attend, but most of the company did.
Much emotion, team reminiscing, and a fair amount of drinking happened and it was an interesting but honestly pretty decent way to handle it I thought. I was largely indifferent to whether I was in the 2/3 or 1/3 and ended up quitting on my own a couple months later.
