Perception is so huge. Pre-pandemic, just looking around I assumed I was layoff-proof, but I got the axe anyway.

Last I heard there are two engineers and one manager sharing my old duties. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

So many people got hit by a layoff during the pandemic it bet it opened lots of eyes. Mine included.

I was recruited to an ISP for my knowledge but my metrics were against new customer activations. I specialized in trouble calls so customer satisfaction. I bet I was one of the first to cut when they needed to tighten the belt.

One thing thst are me feel better is half the managers got cut too.
