Tech layoffs
Great talk about tech layoffs today by @bcantrill and @ahl on their Twitter Space.
A couple of thoughts afterwards, if you’re laid off:
* don’t sign anything in the room. Let them know you’ll be speaking with an employment lawyer.
* actually go speak to an employment lawyer. Even if their answer is “yeah, they did it right”, the peace of mind is worth it
* get into whatever post-layoff gossip you can. People often set up Slacks or Discords. Text everybody. People help each other.
