I know the feeling. A few months ago I randomly got a video call from my boss. Both he and the owner of the company were in the line. They let me know that they unfortunately had to let go of almost everyone on the dev team. Some funding had fell through (gotta love startups). Fortunately, I got to keep my job that day, but I can’t shake the feeling that another layoff is right around the corner.

Perhaps the head of the corporation that abuses you should be the one that lives in fear.

I work in IT. We get notified when people leave.

The cruelest thing in my company is when we get to know before the person in question…

Dude, my company has just been acquired by another one. This is me every day now for the next couple of months.

Out of interest, what do you do and where are you based? It’s a shitty place to work, but if you’re near an Amazon office and you do Amazony things I’m happy to send a reference your way.

Just hit 5 months with 3 works. It’s been tough.

Edit: not trying to mock your suffering comrade. The point was that no matter what happens while we live a capitalist way of life, the working class will suffer.

I went one year and six months. It was bad. I’m wishing you the best.
