You're right, what they should say is, "Mea culpa! You just lost your house, your family will have to uproot its life, your credit rating is about to be ruined and we booted your ass out in the worst tech job market in a decade.
The good news is I can still afford two buy a new private G40 this year! Wahoo!"
- allarm 4y ago> You just lost your house, your family will have to uproot its life, your credit rating is about to be ruined Except nothing of this happened to me when I was laid off in 2020. And I was not making 500k/y, not even close. I have full sympathy to those who are getting laid off now, but I assume googlers will be fine.

- allarm 4y agoMy point is that a person who earns 500k/y and have Google in their resume will most likely suffer much less than many many others. Too much drama about it honestly.
