In practice, you wouldn't use |u| either. You'd use |user|. I would only allow single character variables if they are scoped entirely within one line of code. But even then, best practice is to use good variable names, so I'd

Some companies have written policies to pay you for several months after a layoff (my megacorp does, and paid it out after a small layoff round in January). So there's some loyalty at least for existing employees.

Total revenue 154MM. Staff at 88MM. Total expenses seem to be 145MM and I don't see anything to indicate they are re-donating that money. Where's the source for your comment? It seems to be blatantly untrue, and I'm wondering
