Are pink slip parties coming back too? I feel like I missed a big part of SV culture by being in high school back then. Would be cool to experience again.

- lifeisstillgood 10y agoIt's never cool to experience getting fired. The first couple of times are like gut punches, no matter how many pink slip parties there are, the voice in your head always says "if you were better in this way "they" would not have fired you" As it goes on you get less gut punched, but it's never nice. It's why companies that don't deserve it have a lot of employee loyalty
- Beltiras 10y agoI've been fired twice. Both times it was more of a relief. Once because I engaged too much in my work, took it too seriously. Other time was due to me not liking the atmosphere but having made the decision to "make it work anyways". Both times the reason given on the pink slip was cutbacks and I left both jobs with nice letters of reccommendation. Not every layoff is a bad experience.
