I'm calling BS on the "startups" number...I think this is a lot of people hacking around on side projects on their own dime No mention also of how many will permanently leave tech...this may come down to who has the most savings to fall back on...if you just have to get paid to pay off that BMW lease, you're going to find work wherever you have to

    No but having a severance package that covers your expenses for at least 6 months means that the BMW lease is still covered in the near future even if you don't have savings.
