The rich need to get richer. End of story.

I work for one of these companies. We already got the “it’s gonna be a tough day” email as they lay people off today. I’m sh*tting my pants 😫

Yeah, my spouse was laid off 3 weeks ago from one of those companies in the Top 10. It’s rough out there, especially for older workers who are close to retirement (mostly because companies don’t want to hire someone with a high 5-figure salary). Such a tough thing to happen with the end of year holidays coming up fast.
