    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.

      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

      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.
