Sorry about being laid off, Joey. A lot of big tech seems to be making cuts "in anticipation of" an economic downturn rather than due to actual bad earnings, and I sorta suspect that whatever recession we have, if it happens at all, isn't going to actually hit tech company profits much (aside from lol twitter and maybe facebook and google) and these companies will find themselves in a bad position in a year or two because they've slashed product development. In other words they're reacting to their own stock prices in the short term and not actual sales projections in the long term. Big surprise there.

Make sure to give yourself a bit of a break too. Enjoy a week of and just do something for yourself. When I quit my last job I didn't really take advantage of the break. Was too anxious and just started banging away to find a job right away.

I'm in tech and we went through a pretty big layoff because while we were making profit, we weren't making ~enough~ profit for Wall Street. Those laid off got a nice severance. So, I'm glad you got yours, Joey. Now my entire year is spent negotiating costs we need to recuperate, weeee

Middle of being acquired and about 30 percent of the company, myself included, got hit in a round of layoffs in early August.

So, I'm glad you got yours, Joey. Back in 2017 or so, my mother in law was in a dark place. She was long divorced, working at AT&T in their call center, and had no idea what her actual finances were like but assumed they were bad and she needed to keep working. Then AT&T offered a structured early retirement package, to cut staff. This was a union contract, thank god. So it was based on seniority. She actually brought the papers over to us and asked us for advice, so we looked. They paid out $X per month you'd worked at the company, to take early retirement, and you could take that as cash up front or as two years of monthly payments. She was 67 and had 40 years at AT&T. She got a payout of over $200k, to retire "early", even though she was due to probably retire within the next year anyway. She couldn't believe it, I mean literally did not believe this could possibly be true. We dug in, called, asked questions, and it was true. She got a $200k payout (we took monthlies to avoid paying a huge income tax bill in one year), figured out her social security income, and also found her 401k and a rollover IRA she had forgotten about, and she's fine. Juuuust fine. What is boggling is that AT&T made that offer. It's hard to believe they saved money. Maybe a lot of people with only five or ten years took the deal, I dunno. But it's the worst case of corporate insanity I've directly witnessed.

"Uvalde school police chief Pedro “Pete” Arredondo told investigators he was more concerned about saving students in other classrooms than trying to stop a gunman who had already shot children and teachers." Emma Kinery here has phrased this as if the chief admitted openly to being scared of losing officers over more dead kids, but that is not what he said, and the very first sentence of the article is unambiguous. I don't believe him, of course - the cops were clearly being incredibly cowardly. But he didn't admit to cowardice here. Just repeatedly failing to follow protocol, for really stupid reasons.

why isn't he in cuffs https://www.justia.com/criminal/offenses/homicide/involuntary-manslaughter/ quote:The first type of involuntary manslaughter occurs when a defendant recklessly or negligently commits an act that results in the death of another person. Recklessness usually means that the defendant was aware of the risk that they were creating, while negligence usually means that the defendant was not aware of the risk but reasonably should have been aware of it. The level of negligence required for involuntary manslaughter is higher than normal civil negligence and requires that the defendant have acted in a very unreasonable manner. The exact language used to describe this negligence standard varies by state, but many refer to it as “criminal negligence” or “gross negligence.”

pmchem posted:why isn't he in cuffs The police do not have a duty to protect the public. The ripples of Uvalde are vast and far reaching. Due to the timing of the event, Lift Every Voice Oregon was able to secure over $2m from Mike Bloomberg and get enough votes to put Measure 114 on the ballot, which passed. The measure was so poorly written that the licensing portion is not in place for people to purchase firearms, and if not for judges granting TRO's to the law there would be no way for any Oregonian to buy a firearm. Washington state is also drafting their AWB & Illinois is about to sign their own bill into law soon. It should be noted that in these laws that LEO is exempt from any ban, so we're ceding the safety of the public to people that are likely on the same level as the Uvalde police.

My partner is resigining from her school district and I'm very supportive since the stress was absolutely physically effecting her. She was originally going to take medical leave and be done once her PTO was up but the district is instead giving her an out where they'll pay her through August and keep her benefits going. The whole reason for such generosity is to keep her from suing because she was targeted by an adminstrator with extremly blantant biases against LBGTQ and BIPOC teachers and she very much falls in both category. It was so bad last year the union and outside folks told her to sue but she didn't want to deal with all that and was really, really attached to her coworkers and students. We've had two outside lawyers review to be sure everything is legit and they've signed off. I gotta admit though, I'm extremely relieved that we won't have to rely entirely on my income and her savings while she takes time off since it would stress both of us out a ton.
