Applying the word "impossible" to leaving a white collar job seems like a stretch. Also the buyout was almost 2 years ago now, anyone still there must be either in dire financial straits or quite commited.
- paul7986 2mo agoThat's until you find yourself in this job market and you realize now how stupid the digital creation job market and overall jobs are. Once you get laid (off) you are now you're in a pile of 100(edit 1000s) other applicants equally qualified vying for the same job and then hundreds of thousands who can all type to Ai to do a job that once required knowledge & skill.
- zdragnar 2mo agoOnly 100? Those are good odds in the current market...

- danabrams 2mo agoI don't know, I've had some years where without "off" would also make sense.
- quadrifoliate 2mo agoWhat reality are you living in? The software job market, especially for those of us outside the major tech hubs has been severely biased in favor of employers for the last 3 years, with constant layoffs and rising inflation. If I was working for Automattic I can definitely see electing to stay there until the job market improves.
