That is really generous. But man, I'm sitting here really hoping my sibling who works at Meta is not getting axed. He took the job because of the money, after our parents had to declare a medical bankruptcy. The increase in salary allowed him to pay for their housing which they cannot afford on SS benefits. Even under those circumstances he still would not take the job until he got my super-anti-Zuck butt on-board with the idea. I hope people realize that reasons for working at Meta may be more complicated than it might seem on the surface. </rant> UPDATE: he still has a job, whew

Of course layoffs are never pleasant and I hope and wish no one ever has to face them. But in the capitalist world we live in, they are inevitable. I am glad your brother has his job. Another sad thing about the uber capitalist society that US is, are the medical bankruptcies. In a developed country like the US, people shouldn't go bankrupt trying to avail healthcare. But that's a completely different discussion and let's not go there.
