« Sandra Sucher, a professor of management at Harvard University who has studied layoffs for more than a decade, said Twitter’s cuts were among the most poorly handled that she had seen. While the scale was not unprecedented, it was unusual to see layoffs done so quickly without a detailed explanation provided to workers about who was being laid off and why, she said.

“This is a master class in how not to do it,” Ms. Sucher said. »

« We’re both first years, so we have that in common—”

“You’re a first year?”

What a thing to comment on, out of everything she had said. “Yes?”

The boy scratched at the back of his head again, and she realized it was probably a nervous habit. “I thought you were an upperclassman. You just seemed to know what you were talking about.”

“I…do know what I’m talking about. »

i feel like it doesn't have the strong vibes i would like it to have, it's pretty rough, and there’s at least one spot where i thought it might need a poem

but i’m confident that it’s good material to work with
