This whole thing taught me to re-evaluate what's important. What's the point of life, filling the pockets of tycoons, or spending time with family.

I will no longer believe in the mission of a company. Any job is actually a glorified McDonalds position. You come in spend your 8 hours and go home to your family.

I just checked, they put it on a 0% interest until further notice. What a relief! You should have seen my severance package lol, peanuts.

That's a great advice.

Yes I am in the US.I will start that application right now.

I panic paid off my car insurance just in case things get worse. I'll shop for a cheaper phone plan.

Gym memberships, online streaming and frivolous stuff will go.

Capitalism for the win.

I woke up today with a nice surprise from HR. I got laid off. It was the most impersonal and robotic email I received.

20 minutes later all my accounts got disabled, not a chance to even say farewell to my nice co-workers.

It sucks. I don't have a ton of savings. Luckily my car is paid off, and I only have student loans left.

I was very tempted to inflate my lifestyle after I got a big raise.

I didn't do it, otherwise i'd be in a world of shit.

At least I can survive for a couple month or so.

Stay strong people

Very bad? Really! It was my understanding that companies account for that, they expect it even, since they make staff replaceable by nature.

In any case, it's a gamble. I fear that if too many people leave none of the original staff will remain and management will suck.

Good advice, I should ask some of them before they leave.
