When this guy got called into the head boss's office, he had a feeling it wasn't a good sign.
Getting a message from HR or the higher-ups you never really speak to can send a shiver down an employee's spine. Having to have one of these important talks can mean getting put on a PIP plan if the boss is unhappy with their work. Sometimes, HR will have to call an important meeting if the employee has been bothering other employees. There are a lot of reasons these spontaneous meetings might happen, and not many of the reasons are positive. For this person, downsizing meant that he was suddenly out of his job as an employee at an internet/network company. It's unfair, but there's nothing a worker can do when the company chooses to force them out.
