      Sorry to hear that. I got layed off too. I was doing great in my last role, but the company had a market share drop, so my manager was forced to lay off some employees :(. I have been looking for a job in the last month and been studying to land a job. I didn`t had any luck yet, but hopefully I will find something soon. Good luck to you! Hope you will find something also!

      Hi Caleb, look at it this way, you're got fired now, Someone else got shot during the rush of the war(like in Ukraine, Iran)..you still have time to take a pause and rethink the way you'll be dealing with remaining parts of your business, and you make up a new picture out of that...

      @@GeenSama But it's not at their their best interest to distribute wealth. People get laid off because they "cost the company" a lot of money as opposed to an automated robot that does virtually the same thing. It's not a good thing that humans care about their dividends. But I don't blame them. Society at large is to blame. And it's irreversible unless another Hitler or some crazy communist dictator takes over. We will be fucked and wish to go back to our old bu also miserable state, at least we will be free to do whatever we want(within reason), and this will make us to not be miserable if and only if we are not dependent on some overlord but make our own stuff(food and water).

    I think it's really funny that I just finished the series and then found this video, even if it's already a month old. ~TADA~
    All jokes aside, I know you won't have any trouble finding something in the future. It will be so clear when the time is right!

    You certainly have an interesting perspective on employment and if you end up accepting an offer you still appreciate after 2 years, I'd love to personally chat with you and compare outlooks if at all possible. I've taken a much more reserved approach to career, which has severely limited my career growth while ultimately putting me in exactly the position I imagined myself in, and couldn't be happier (aside from pay, of course.) I'm less interested in career advice as much as I am in comparing experiences and perspectives.

    Sorry to hear you were laid off. No one is safe. Have you managed to find new income since the lay off?
