This morning they fired half my department
My employer, a giant dot com corporation, is firing thousands of people today. I think I still have a job. But my boss and several of the people in my department were just let go.
They Just sent an email out saying everyone who is impacted has been notified, and no one has told me I'm fired. But until i'm told "You're safe" i am going to expect the worst. |

I got drunk last night cause I couldn't sleep. We knew this was going to happen today. But nobody, not even my boss, knew who was going to be cut. I was expecting the entire division to be eliminated. Better to expect the worst and be relieved when that doesn't happen.
But i'm just sick now. |

It must be Amazon or Facebook. Either way please realize you're part of the problem.
You may want to consider quitting ASAP and join some ethically conscious organizations like a socialist cafeteria or co-living housing facility in SF. |

I don't work for Microsoft. I've been in retail my whole life. Microsoft fired 10k people today in Seattle. Amazon fired 18k. It's bad out here.

I'm sending my resume later today to a nonbinary anarcho socialist organic vegan human composting non profit in Portland. I'll have to sell my Tesla, cause they only pay in bundles of culturally appropriated dried sage, and I won't be able to afford the car or a place to live. But at least I'll be doing good deads. They do provide perks, though. There's free housing in a box on the side of I5 in East Portland. They guarantee one meal per day at the mission soup kitchen. And if i die on the job they'll compost me and sell the compost to rich white people for their organic flower beds. I've always wanted to be laid to rest in some rich Karen's yard.

Please see if you can keep the Tesla as the company is owned by the most successful african-american in the business and he deserves all our support. Cheers |

I don't work at a giant corporation, but we did just have a round of layoffs last week, and I can tell you I did not feel safe after the "everyone's been notified now" message either, but I also still don't. Like, I've known my whole career I can be laid off at any time for no reason, but this was a stark reminder. Most of the people let go at my place had been here for 10+ years. One of my coworkers told me "I've been working with [laid-off person] since 1999." Like, fuck. You will never earn the loyalty they expect from you.
