I can’t wait to be one of the “chosen ones” in the upcoming cuts. But I’m truly sorry for my younger colleagues, especially those carrying heavier burdens than most and now facing the possibility of losing their jobs. It’s brutal out there right now, and for the sake of the many good and decent people I’ve met here over the years, I really hope things improve soon. When they do, never tie your entire career or self-worth to one company. Your true value is yours alone, not defined by corporate expectations.

This is such a thoughtful and empathetic post. Completely agree with this sentiment. not sure why there are all of these troll responses.
OP expresses empathy and advice for younger people (which they're 100% right about, by the way), and the replies are just utterly unhinged. what is wrong with you people? do you even work here? go back to reddit, you absolute losers.
Why come here to boast about it? Also don’t think you’re out of the woods yet buddy. Even retirees can lose it all and be back in the workforce working fur Uber or Lyft in their 80’s.
You’re no less out of touch with reality than DE.
Thanks for sharing. I'll remember that at least someone is well-off when I can't afford my bills.
