The layoffs in tech continue unabated. I realized that there’s no one place where I’ve got all of the things I’ve written about them collected in one place (and I don’t like WordPress’ tags page). So, here they all are, plus one bonus one about all of the ways that working in tech can make you bitter and how not to let it take your humanity.
- The Layoff Line – this one’s practical, kind of what questions you can expect to get answers to, and the ones you never will – also naming the feelings you’re probably feeling.
- One Last Layoff Lament – yes, I thought there would be only two posts. Silly me. It’s about how damaging layoffs are to trust and how the people who still work there feel – also naming feelings.
- The Illusion of Control – what it says in the title.
- Stay Soft – you could call this one a love letter to the people I’ve worked with.
There you go. Please be kind to yourself. If you’re in a place to help folks who’ve lost their jobs, please do. Not just because it could be you next but because it’s the right thing to do.
