Perhaps it's not all about the money?
- throwawaysleep 4y agoThat’s your fault, as that is all it is to your employer and boss.
- gabmartini 4y agoYou don't like what you do? I do. Not every day but I enjoy it.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoI enjoy what I do. But I also make sure to remind myself that I will enjoy many things. Lots of companies have interesting tech puzzles. Losing a job should be like losing the daily crossword. Enjoyable, but hardly unique. You can also enjoy many things outside of work.
- kvark 4y agoWhile true for most companies, this is not the case for non-profit organizations (FSF, Mozilla, etc). And some for-profits are mission driven (Tesla).
- kramerger 4y agoMozilla and Tesla? Sounds like you picked two _really_ bad examples.
- skinnymuch 4y agoTesla’s mission of making as much money and being as powerful as possible? So like every company.
- sgift 4y agoSilly human, having emotions and such frivolities. Just be a machine, it always works better.
- trhway 4y agoyep, as i said a chance to find a better job. If company does layoffs, it is most probably because the things haven't been going great in a lot of senses, ie. the things have rotten to the point that amputation is needed. I saw a number of layoffs through different companies (i happen to work in enterprise software, a pretty rotten area), and i don't remember anybody feeling like they lost their dream job.
- gabmartini 4y agoI understand that, but I think that the piece is more related to the emotional and feelings of the people that is left behind. I know many people that was layoff and for them, money wasn´t the issue, but they couldn´t deal with the fact of being layed off. I don't know, I have been layoff once and inmediately I went to a trip in Japan, couldn't care less but those guys, even one of my closest friends were very sad even months from the fact. :(
