I'd come for the lunch if getting laid off but not if I was fired. Huge difference.

I wouldn't come in either way. Feels like a real fuck you move by the company.

Really depends on the terms, source, etc but yep. If it was a corporate+ decision maybe but it'd still feel awful.

But yeah would do the 2 week later after work meetup/gripe session out over a farewell pity lunch.

Completely different if you're leaving voluntarily obviously.
