They jacked up their prices and laid off their long time employees... Like me.

Fuck the company I'm in is going hog wild with that right now. I think I'm insulated because I've never negotiated pay even when hired so I'm probably relatively cheap for them to keep on. I hope you land well

Thanks, it seems like all the tech giants are losing money and laying off a ton of tech workers to please their shareholders.

Well they are a big evil corporation so it's expected, but shame on you for doing that to your employees.

The real kicker is they gave me my 5 year pin a month before and we're giving me a yearly monetary incentive to stay with them.

I'm sorry for your lost employment. Hopefully you at least acquired skills to land an even better job!

Thanks, there is one upside: it finally allowed me to move out of NYC after 5 years. I'm living down in Miami now, still unemployed but I'm living off the money they gave me haha
