So, things have been weird, people have been finishing up their work, and the product was declared finished on Friday (a week early).
As is customary, the company announced that there would be a celebration of the new product release on June 3, which is two days before the termination date of the majority of the people who were laid off.
I suspect that the intent was good (road to hell, and all that), I can't escape feeling like the company is celebrating discarding valuable employees after squeezing what they wanted out of them.
