The disrespectful part is discovering that you&#x27;ve been laid off via a side effect of the layoff, rather than being told by a person.<p>It&#x27;s true that layoffs are (even more) difficult and complex in the case of a remote employee, but this doesn&#x27;t mean that we should see something appalling and simply throw up our hands and say &quot;what were they supposed to do&quot;.  We solve complex, difficult problems every day -- when the solutions are valuable to us.  This is a demonstration that treating their employees with respect is not valuable to Twitter.
