Layoffs don't suck, layoffs are great.
It's a quick, guilt-free way to get out of a dead-end situation without having to spend a multi-week notice period writing documentation, handing over, and pretending you'll be lifelong friends with a group of people you are sick of that don't have your back.
- elcomet 4y agoThat's only true if - you have enough money to be out of work for a while - you are not on a visa which is definitely not the case for many people. And what if you like your job ? Then layoff does suck, no ? You seem to think the alternative option to layoff is quitting, but what about staying at the company ?
- whatever1 4y agoLayoffs great when you are in your 20s-30s. Specially if you are single with established immigration status. Not so great when you are in your 50s with family, health expenses & loans and nobody wants to hire you.
- rockinghigh 4y agoIt's not great in your 20s either when you just started and may have limited savings.
- czbond 4y agoNot saying it is a fix, but unemployment insurance is there too.
- winphone1974 4y agoYou appear to be contrasting layoffs to quitting, so wouldn't you be the one who doesn't have your coworkers' backs?
- tacostakohashi 4y agoI have quit, and I have been laid off, and I am contrasting the experiences from my own perspective. Forgive me.
- kalupa 4y agoI'm sure glad I don't work with you ...
