I believe I will be laid off soon. I've been very lazy on the assignments given to me. Should I feel badly about being slow and lazy?

I dont think you have the luxury of time to feel bad. Being lazy is decidedly unproductive and I would lay off these type of people in a heart beat.

For those who struggle because of lack of experience, I would offer anything to help. For those who lack the decency to work for their salary and to be as productive as they can be for their team, I reserve no sympathy for them.

You need to dig deep and figure out what is causing your laziness. You were the one who committed to this job, so its your responsibility to see it through come hell or high water.

Sound alike you deserve to be layed off. Where you were being lazy someone else had to work extra hard to compensate for your laziness

You shouldn’t feel bad about it, but it sounds like you need to find some internal motivation to get where you want/need to be in life. E.g. you don’t want to be working at Lowe’s in your 80’s because you can’t retire.

Try communicating your needs with your need

Yes. People get to work, so work!

You shouldn’t feel bad, as long as you’re happy to get sacked, lol.

You’re within your rights to be lazy, they’re within theirs to fire you.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
