This is never what you want to see in your inbox:

Today will be a tough day, and by 9pm ET you will have heard if your job is affected. Your leaders and the People team will provide you with all the important details. We are committed to helping those impacted through this with the utmost respect, and supporting them with a runway during the transition.

• What is “helping. . .with the utmost respect”? It may sound good. Does this mean there will be no judgment as “We” help pack the corrugated cardboard boxes?
• And “a runway during the transition” is a prime example of trying to obfuscate what will be absolutely obvious to those who will be affected.
