Thread regarding Western Digital Corp. layoffs

Ready to walk away

The amount of dread I'm feeling ahead of work finally made me realize that while being unemployed is bad, being unhappily employed is worse. I've been trying to find a new job outside of WD for a while with no luck, but I don't even care anymore. I have enough in savings to be able to afford to quit before I find something new. For once, I'm going to prioritize my mental health.

Yea, I left recently and joined the health industry. Bye bye mamufacturing, it was bittersweet. Everyone needs IT and Healthcare, except WD...

Don't give away 4 months worth of free salary. Just wait a couple of months.

I would suggest go for a long vacation.

Have you tried applying to jobs in different industries? I was at WD for 5 years and was laid off in May. Then I got out of tech and and into Automotive. Couldn't be happier!
