I would volunteer for a layoff if given the same severance package.
:ehh:

Here is how Block's severance package compares to other tech companies in past layoffs​


Dorsey said Block would provide laid-off employees with 20 weeks of salary, plus one additional week per year of tenure. They would also get six months of healthcare, a $5,000 stipend, and the option to keep their work device. Equity would vest through until the end of May, Dorsey said.

5 months severance is amazing

They were saying that had a lot to do with why Philip Rivers went back out and played this year. He has 10 kids and his health insurance was set to expire soon. Playing those few games this year extends it by another 5 years I think.

Mapped: Where H-1B hires are concentrated, as visa lottery opens with new rules​


h1b-visa-map-1200x800.jpg


California metros and the DMV, which boast tech enterprises and early-stage startups, reported the densest population of new H-1B hires, per 10,000 workers. IT, healthcare and professional services are the most common pathways for this visa

H-1B lottery registrations dip in Trump's first year
The number of selected registrants to file a petition, or application, for the visa has stayed steady. But bids for the lottery decreased nearly 30% between FY 2025 and 2026, following mass deportations and immigration restrictions from the start of Trump's second term.

Registering for the H-1B lotterystill costs $215. Registration is capped at 85,000 for private companies only; higher education, nonprofit and government research employers are exempt from this process.

The system, which used to be random, now weighs lottery registrations based on wages — the higher the wage being offered, the better the chances of getting selected.

You might be a bit autistic. The thread title is talking about layoffs. Then when someone post something about layoffs you say it's not that bad out here in the job market.

Might be. You might be a dolt.

Have no problem with information but people are just posting low quality click-bait articles. Not really helping anything or anybody.

Again, if everything is so bad, why is all the information low quality and without context?



She's cute. Not listening to all that but any nudes?

Damn, hope I never get laid off again, seems mandatory now to make an unemployment journey vlog :francis:
It's an ad. She'll get reached out to by people on linkedin after for jobs. It's actually a smart way to get a job quickly if the video goes viral. Which it might cuz she's semi attractive.
