I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It’s gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

    To be contrarian,

    I’d count this as a YOLO. You only live once and choosing to live it with decorum and immaculate professionalism or playing the long game is also a valid response.

    Maybe one day, they come crawling back to you? Take them for all they’re worth or shove it back at them.

    I had a lucrative job offer for a fairly senior role from a company that previously retrenched me. I got their senior management to wine and dine me. All in the guise of discussing the role, how I saw the future of the industry and my plan for taking the company to where they wanted to be in 2 years. Then after all was said and done, I told them I wasn’t interested. It felt good and besides I make way more now than they could have offered me and it would have taken me away from my family and put me in a very stressful role.
