    This hit too close to home. I’m now in my second forced job change in 3 years, and honestly I’m trying to make the most of it by using this job change to move to a larger city, just like how I used my last job change for a big bump in pay and benefits. It’s been a goal to move for better resources for my special needs child, but now it’s also about ensuring more resiliencey in my finances because if the next place lays me off I’ll actually have no shortage of places to work within a 30 minute commute rather than commuting an hour like I did a year and a half ago and like I’m likely to start doing again soon. This shit makes me seriously wonder how people manage to work at places for 20 or 30 years straight

    Or for the political bent, we need to make layoffs more expensive and tip the balances on mergers and acquisitions to make those far harder. Force companies to pivot to meet a competitor or die

    Isn’t it wonderful when your VPN client refuses to connect repeatedly until you realize you need to reboot your PC or restart the VPN service… and then go change your underwear.

      Me when I badge into my office, and the reader doesn’t let me in on the first swipe.

    Cool.

    Post it across as many parallel subs on the fediverse as possible. Nobody will notice. It’s not like they’re connected or will stack them together based on when you post them or anything.

      Oh no you noticed. Maybe I shouldn’t make this post a crosspost that literally links to original /s

      It’s for people that don’t subscribe to both subs. You can always ignore the second one and scroll away.
