I mean if there are severance packages, I wouldn't say no.
I was laid-off in 2022 and got a pretty nice severance, and my new job pays 40% more. I wish I had known how relatively quickly I was going to find another job because I would have enjoyed my time off a lot more. I personally don't know anyone who has been laid-off and ended up worse off.
my friend was laid off last june by ibm and still hasn’t found a job
Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it's tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don't, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.
no you didn’t no apology necessary, it’s a very subjective experience and I wanted to share another side of it :)
