Management fires entire team out of nowhere, then tells them they can reapply for limited spaces: 'I don’t know where that leaves me'

Imagine being summoned into a meeting out of nowhere, only to find out your entire team is being let go. Perhaps it softens the blow knowing that you were not the only person getting fired, but don't worry; it only gets worse. 

After a tense meeting between the work team and human resources, this soon-to-be former employee learned that while any remaining PTO was going to be paid out, details about their 401k accounts remained vague and unclear. That's not exactly the most professional level of transparency any employee wants to hear. 

Eventually, the team was told that they could interview to keep their jobs but that there would be a limited number of spots available. Talk about some audacity here! If they needed to let a few people go for budgetary purposes, you would think they would just figure that out rather than taunt employees who want to stay. Our hope is that all of these folks found something better!
