Ask HN: Is it better to quit or get laid off?
This is in consideration of people who may be displaced due to COVID-19's impact on jobs.
- gjvc 7y agoBetter to quit, because then you are in control of your destiny.
- LinuxBender 7y agoI think that depends. If laid off means you get a nice severance package so the company can remove some liabilities, then that may be a nice way to leave. You would need a transparent management org to take that risk. Otherwise I agree with gjvc that leaving on your own terms gives you more control.
