When companies are laying off their top performers to save money either (a) they are falling apart, likely near death, and you should leave anyway or (b) they are just a stupid shitty company that doesn't understand the value of top developers so you should leave anyway.
So if you get laid off, it is probably a favor.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoNot much of a favor if you don't see it coming and still have bills to pay.
- chillacy 10y agoBut a true "top performer" would have another job in a week (especially in a tech hub), no?
- pavel_lishin 10y agoThey don't all live in tech hubs, there are many very good reasons not to jump into one of the first offers you get, and just because you're a top performer at Widget Co doesn't mean that every other company you apply to will find that self-evident based on a few interviews.
