A comment on Why the Google layoffs are about personal ambition and poor leadership. Parent comment
Can't happen because health insurance has an out-of-pocket maximum for the year
> Or you're living paycheck to paycheck because school cost you $150k (plus interest).
College prices do need to be reined in, but if you are making 300k you should be able to handle a 150k debt.
> Those laid off got a bad deal, period, because it has less to do with actual "merit" and more to do with at-will is a bad deal.
Seems like a pretty good deal, honestly. Generous severance packages.
Nobody likes layoffs but pretending that this is some kind of humanitarian disaster is just grotesque
