If somebody of Yihui Xie's calibre got laid off, there's no hope for 99% of R programmers at Rstudio.

  That may not be the case. It could have been a personality clash, some manager wanting to shake things up a bit, or maybe despite the good will Yihui Xie has with the community they may have been unpleasant to work with. Tech work, from engineering to programming to grunt work, is a lot about your skills and talent, but it is much more about your ability to integrate with your coworkers, to get along with others, and create a pleasant atmosphere. If you fail that, regardless of whether it is your fault or not, it can easily lead to the end of your employment with that company. Of course, if your company makes life unpleasant for you, then make your escape plan and quit asap
