Layoffs suck. Kudos to Stripe for being very generous in what they’re doing for employees being laid off. Will be interested to see how this contrasts with what Twitter does…

I’ve been laid off a couple times. Once I got 6 weeks of severance which was nice, and I was lucky because I had a job the next day. The second time I got basically 2 weeks. And that was brutal and stressful. Ended up taking a job I didn’t really want because I had to have one. I was applying to other jobs immediately, and then left it a few months later. Which I felt bad about.
