Do you regret asking them? Sounds like you missed out on a lot of free cash, but I guess this stupid thing called "conscience" might have spoiled the fun of that eventually anyway..
- jonah 4y agoI could have possibly milked it for a couple weeks, but that was about it. (And, yes, I wouldn't have felt good about drawing a paycheck when there was no office to show up at or product to work on.)
- yamtaddle 4y agoLots of us find that kind of situation completely miserable. Not because we love work and just can't stand not being productive but because it's living with a Sword of Damocles over your head and it threatens future employability. Unless you've already got fuck-you money it's very stressful, even if you don't give a shit about ensuring the shareholders are getting a good return on their investment (I sure as hell don't).
- hotpotamus 4y agoThis sounds like you speak from experience that mirrors my own. It was actually a relief to get laid off (helped that the severance was pretty fair too).
