I joke with my friends in other industries about how often I have been laid off. For me, it's been uh...5 times? Maybe 6. I am probably forgetting them. None of them were very small but like usual characteristically overextended. One company I survived 4 full rounds of layoffs before getting axed. Another one I survived 3. It's the nature of playing around in the high stakes startup world. As I've gotten older I've found more stable companies. But it was quite funny coming home once every few years to tell my girlfriend I was laid off again and then picking up another job a week later.
