We had a preemptive 2 weeks before announcement for layoffs at the spot im at back in like late 2019 and our meeting was similar and a ton of the questions were around how could we make sure our coworkers were keeping our jobs and they were like "we literally don't have enough work, do you want people to just sit around? do you think they would enjoy that" and everyone was like "WELL THEYD CERTAINLY LIKE TO BE PAID" employee owned coop so at least some executives actually did eat it and they took pay cuts. as IT i see all the ins and outs and I was absolutely loving pissed when hiring kicked up again like a month later and it was like jesus loving christ seriously. like whiplash.

I've been through a whole loving slew of layoffs in the last few years due to the 737max crashes just murdering the industry that feeds boeing but my favorite/most horrifying was: We got a warning 2 weeks before the lay off because they wanted to be nice??? idk. Anyway, it was like the grimmest atmosphere ever and as each day approached you'd see open liquor bottles on peoples desks and poo poo. We all went out and just got loving ripped mid day a few times. The night before I got a call that one of my (admittedly lovely) coworkers who ran a specific building was getting the axe so i'd need to go in the morning of and train another person we were throwing into that spot as a hold over. So I get there, I turn everything on and I have this sinking loving pit in my stomach. Get the person settled in and at like 8:30 i make our way over to our main building and there's seagulls eating puke in the parking lot. Just tons of seagulls and puke. And I have the realization im probably getting fired to. I just sit there for a while watching the seagulls. I make my way through the fence to the hangar and I walk in and... they're like clapping people out with their piles of poo poo in their boxes. The company had a tradition of clapping retirees and stuff. old company so a lot of weird quirks. So they're clapping people out one by one. I think like 40 people out of 200 got let go. And I walk up to my boss and I'm like "uhhhh" and he's like "oh you are good" and I think I just started crying because the whole morning was so stressful. We lost over half our specific service desk IT team. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 03:50 on Dec 19, 2022 |

have to +++ the above. Local government was how i got into computer touching and there was a wide breadth of poo poo to learn + they had dedicated training budgets for employees to I learned a bunch of poo poo super well and got paid... ok. The benefits were incredible. the non profit tech jobs i've had were easily the worst because they had just the worst management and pay possible with the holier than thou attitudes about everything. There's this sense that they are totally allowed to abuse employees because they wont leave because THE MISSION!
