I was already interviewing when I got the layoff notice, formally accepted an offer at a large startup the same week I was laid off. I probably wouldn't have accepted that offer if I hadn't just been laid off.
I make about 60% as much (depending on how you calculate the stock). I work about 30% as much.
I don't miss working there, I didn't like their tools or their culture. But I feel something, perhaps insulted, that I was laid off. It can be weird.. disconnecting maybe.. seeing so many people work with such conviction toward goals that defy understanding.
Just imagine tons of brilliant and motivated people with middling communication/organization all working toward some unclear goal (building a metaverse on NFTs?) in the largest PHP codebase you've ever seen, all without batting an eye.
