> A developer making $300k? Working for an ad company? Not too much sympathy I have no sympathy for the person laid off or the survivor if they are in a role commanding that level of wage. If you are pushing $300k in salary, you should be able to financially handle a layoff or if you survive the cut— just buck it up, put your head down, and power your way through a leaner operation. Honestly, I feel like anyone complaining about being a tech layoff survivor must have never worked outside of tech before. I worked in an industrial laundry in college, I can assure you the very worst day I had sitting at a desk typing code into a keyboard for a fat salary was exponentially better than the very best day I had loading dirty shop rags and diapers into a washing machine for minimum wage.
