Layoff.WTF Needs Your Support

Layoffs are brutal. Four of my closest friends lost their jobs in the last ~6 months; and have been struggling to find a new one. What pains me the most is that none of them ever thought they'd lose their job and were totally unprepared for job loss financially.

I decided to launch https://layoff.wtf network to support those who have lost jobs. If you are searching for a job or can help in any way; I request you to join our waitlist. We currently have ~1300 people and are on-boarding users every day.

If you have questions, comments; I'll be happy to answer.

The front page is just a signup form. Is the project already running? I guess people want to see what they will get and some of the information before signing up. [Lucky, I still have a job.]

Yes. The project is very new and being developed with inputs from those who've signed up. I'll try to add more information on the front-page.

However, before really knowing what's inside - what'd you expect to see after getting access?
