    Right. Luckily you can find work elsewhere after being laid off.

      Have you been checking the unemployment rates recently?

        Developers are in the 1%. A good dev is always going to find work, at least for the foreseeable future. There is a huge scramble to snap up newly redundant talent now. I had a dev who lost their job reject a job offer today because another company got there first. I know what job he took but he doesn't know I know so it's not like he said it to soften the rejection.

          > There is a huge scramble to snap up newly redundant talent now Absolutely. People are lowballing hard, trying to take advantage of the economy and are surprised when their offers are rejected. This is one of the reasons why!

        Like I said. This isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'd rather be unemployed than grovelling to my boss and play the climb the ladder game. That's me. You do you.
