As title. Just been told we are being laid off, and asked to keep it confidential from anyone outside this room.

They sent us home "to absorb the news".

Is it really the case that we cannot tell partners/spouses and have to keep it to ourselves?

When can I tell my partner? or I have to get clearance to tell?

My partner is at home so I can't turn up late with this.

Edit: there is a severance package but it's likely to be just the one mandated by law, not "enhanced" in any way. We were told on the day and sent home for that day, but have to work for another ~1 month after this. My partner has no connection to this company other than through me, totally different role and industry.

You're not in the army, in prison or at school - you can tell whoever you like. What are they going to do if you do ?
