I got laid off 2 years ago and my life turned for better not worse. I did decide to have my priorities in life changed and hence the lay off happened at the exact right time! I thanked all my management chain for laying me off and I started a new career. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Dont be scared. The clock maker always has something for you to clinch on. Hopefully you will find a job which marches you better. You learn new skills and brish up your resume. I still have very good relationship with all my managers even the one who laid me off. Believe in some higher power which has impact on your life and look for better opportuinities in life. Hope you guys calm down!

A stint at Q prompted me to read "Dying for a paycheck" by Jeffery Pfeffer.
I did the same except I was in the 2018 one, my life and perspective of life has drastically changed for the better. I don’t work 6 days a week 12 hr days and I don’t need to take my laptop on vacations. While I am at work I bust my a-s but when it’s time to go home, I am out of there. I enjoy my weekends, that time is for me and my family. Qualcomm work life balance is not existent, you live to work for them. He-l, I am even getting into open source projects now which I wasn’t allowed to do then. Life is better you will not regret it.
