[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's okay. You'll be okay if you get laid off. You'll find an even better job. [/quote]

Literally this happens to only the lucky.

I know plenty of people who now work for 50% of what they were earning.  How is that "even better"?  Maybe it's "even better" for those in India and other low cost centers, but definitely not for American based people.[/quote]

My spouse was remote in big tech, made good-for-us money, had a baby, got laid off a year later. He found a federal ladder role and makes less, but we figured it was stable. Surprise, he's at a targeted agency in one that should have never been a political issue. So 2 years later, he's probably going to be laid off again. Our state pays poorly considering the COL, probably half of what he originally made. We're not really near a lot of private sector jobs, and remote is disappearing. Thankfully we bought while interest rates were low, but we're going to struggle to afford our home, and rent for a 2-bedroom apartment is close to our mortgage.

My life peaked in 2021, and I imagine for many it peaked around 2019, based on Trump’s win. Despite what they hope, it’s not getting better any time soon. 🙁[/quote]
