Twitter layoffs suck. Any layoffs suck. But hard to watch the masses on LinkedIn (again) fumbling all over themselves today to offer their help, connections, resources, networks etc.. You know, when it's "trendy." But when regular everyday unemployed people like me (us?) need help, it's crickets. Why? Because on most days you don't get to virtue signal & beef up your LinkedIn profile by *quietly* giving someone an extra hand or morsel of empathy. Help people always, not just when it's "cool."

Super gross when I see recruiters that are serial ghosters throwing out stuff like “reach out to me, I’ll do whatever I can”

Exactly. I have friends struggling for months and months that don't have a big tech layoff in their background but crickets now everyone wants to offer help and referrals. If they really cared about the unemployed they would offer up advice referrals monthly to the masses not just when it's cool to.

Also DM me and I can see if I can help in any way

The whole UX team of 100 people got laid off, they were working hard on making the text really engaging.

Yes, OP. a thousand times YES. And to the lady ECD who never replies to LinkedIn availability DMs, but posted "I'm here for all those laid off..." or to the Head of Brand guy who can't be bothered to accept a LinkedIn for invite, but now you'll "do my best to help all those..." EAT. MY. BUTT. You poesers.

I saw a post today that said it’s mean to apply for jobs if you have one because of the layoffs. Like…please! People at Twitter were making twice as much as me I deserve those opportunities just as much as anyone laid off.

Omg. Stop. You did not (see a post like that). Ugggggg. I have also been thinking that (about Twitter bucks). If I was just laid off from Twitter, you know where I would be? On a plane to anywhere, wearing a huge smile. Then document the whole trip and write a lame LinkedIn article about what I learned. That way more people could comment about how sorry they are for me and that I am so brave.

Hi fishes

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?
