I wonder how much major tech companies are taking into account "revenge" when doing their firing. For example, if I was a GCP Solutions Architect and got laid off, my skills would be well suited to jumping to a customer who is using GCP - but would I be inclined to support this activity, giving the employer who fired me more revenue? Depends on the availability of roles of course, but I would certainly be giving strong consideration to ways to screw them over in return, for example by advocating for another cloud and quietly, tactically airing some dirty laundry.
- pm90 4y agoNobody behaves this way. A GCP solutions architect has spent years acquiring valuable skills and experience. They aren’t gonna throw it away out of spite. The only thing laid off employees will generally do is never, ever work for the employer that laid them off ever again.

Also, mid-level technical people having a grudge next year aren't a problem - but that might not be the case in 10 years, when the laid-off person is CTO of a big potential customer - at that point, the technical skills are irrelevant, but the impact being laid off had on that person emotionally/financially won't be.
- eunos 4y agoI think for most people 'revenge' either doesnt exist or dissipated quickly. If GCP skills bring money to the account then most people will leverage it regardless of their personal feeling to Google
