Unbelievable.

It sucks to be laid off, but they're better off in the long run to get away from a company with leadership like that.

(In over 20 years) I've been laid off 3 times.

I know how much it sucks the first & second time, but once you see the warning signs there is no glory in hanging around.

For me, being laid off (or resigning) is just another skill I got better at (like learning a new tech stack or framework).

You are right, with leadership like that, the environment must be toxic...
