I haven't been able to sleep for weeks and I couldn't enjoy my Thanksgiving break. I've been trying for almost a year to network and reach out to people in the Chicago market to hopefully find somewhere new to land before this went through.

I work remotely and know I'm on the chopping block for it. But I also need to take care of my wife who has a costly medical condition, as I'm the only one with a job atm.

I am not good.

Area 23 had some layoffs, but not many. Under 30.

Phillipe Krakowsky was, is, and will be an Adam Neumann in a Warren Buffet job. There were many ways this could have been avoided.

And yet he’s being rewarded with a $48M payout and keeping the Co-CEO title until they pay him even more to leave.

This blows

like

so if 4K people are let go, who is actually going to do the work? Seriously, who? Are they going to re-hire, when they realize they actually needed those poor people they got rid of?

They’ll double the workload of those they kept and if that doesn’t work, rehire offshore at a mere fraction of the salaries that the previous employees were getting

Really hoping to avoid judgment on this post. Has anyone had to sign up for government or state assistance after becoming unemployed? Was the process difficult?
