That should be a last resort imo. OP better pay attention.

I've been laid off. Most people who were alive and working sometime in the past 20 years have been. I mean, are you serious? No one should EVER be laid off or fired? Not even when the company financials are off 30% or the employee sexually harassed a subordinate? Get real.
