Yeah they got pretty good severance packages. Combined with unemployment collection, they should be back on their feet in 3-4 months. I feel bad for the H1B visa workers tho

OP big tech layoffs aren't about you, and they're not about obnoxious people you know who work in big tech, or big tech CEOs; they're about the families in financial crisis after their mommy and daddy lost their job, in an insane cost-of-living market like NYC or SF, and all of the companies they "could" lateral to have hiring freezes, and groceries/utilities are getting more expensive each month because of inflation and Ukraine. It's about the tough choices parents have to make — parents who, to a single person like yourself look like they're making a lot of money, but when you factor in the costs of raising an upper middle class family in a major city, are stretched pretty thin — to keep the electricity on, feed their kids, and pretend everything is ok over the holidays. Now use your accounting brain to multiply that image by 11% of Meta's staff, and thousands of families employed at other companies — and how your childhood would be derailed if *you* were the child of someone who just got laid off at Meta.

Trust me you can get super easy jobs with good pay and low hours in any industry. You just have to have certain skills 😉

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks.
