Had two buddies of mine get laid off from their non-consulting jobs. Any ideas how I can support them without just saying, “Y’all want some cash?”

It might not be ideal but there are some industries that are hiring: Dominoes and Kroger are the two biggest ones I know of. Not sure what they did before and the work isn’t glamorous but some pay is better than nothing.

Do they have any side hustles? If so see how you can help promote and support those for them.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
