Ask HN: Have you been affected by layoffs?

Hello,

1. Have you ever been laid off from a job for reasons that were not related to your performance?

2. Did this affect your job search / career afterwards?

3. Do you feel that being laid off from a job prevented you from recovering due to social stigma around being under / unemployed?

Context:

Yesterday I made a comment about layoffs, corporate ethics and the behavior of C-level folks as it affects the working population. I respect the comment I made wasn't helpful, but I do think there is a meaningful conversation to be had about the topic. I hope this can lead to more constructive criticism about the actual subject, which is how layoffs affect people beyond the job they are immediately losing.
