Didn't get laid off today. Roughly 40% of my company did
@bajax Both. Our company was recently spun off from a very large company, sold to private equity. The layoffs were sort of necessary, I guess, but done very, very sloppily.
@Economic_Hitman Is your company hiring?
@Forestofenchantment lol no, dawg we cutting costs over here!
@Economic_Hitman oh god man I'm sorry. you are in the jaws of a predator right now. I hope you're browsing job listings
@Economic_Hitman congrats on staying employed! now's the best time to start updating your resume lol
40% chance that anyone you didn't like isn't your problem anymore.

@Economic_Hitman I would always volunteer to be laid off. My boss would just laugh and laugh...
@Economic_Hitman @bajax i can't believe you're two men in a dinosaur trenchcoat!!!
@sj_zero It feels like I'm in the wrong timeline, and I shouldn't have my job right now... survivor's guilt.
@vic @Economic_Hitman No. I'm Basque French.

But seriously, my company said they are shifting the work they cut from the US force to our Indian and EU teams

they actually admitted that out loud? while cutting 40% of the company?? that's pretty brave
There really aren't any penalties anymore. It's a trend that'll accelerate because the incentives are too great to ignore.
the kind that gets special treatment from the government
