> Why do tech workers get so wrapped around the axle of layoffs when most people are in a chronic state of tech job hopping?
When I leave a job, I leave on good terms, they're always sad to see me go but understanding, and I always give my employer 6 or more weeks notice with the additional offer that they can still reach out to me for help if they need after that for as long as my memory remains helpful. A couple even took me up on my offer and asked to pay me for my time.
The time I got caught in a layoff I had the door slammed in my face literally minutes later and barely two weeks severance contingent on signing away rights. So, fuck me I guess.
Maybe the workers who complain understand that circumstances are not always equal.
