Netflix first quarter earning report showed the companies first subscriber and revenue loss ever. This caused its stock to drop 30%, in response to all of that they dropped the animation dept, laid off some major execs and alot of employees, pretty sure this person was in one of these groups.

In march i left a job after 2 weeks that paid 32 dollars an hour because i didn't rock with the enviroment. Very hostile and unpleasant place. People doubt themselves too much and are too scared of the unknown to tell these companies to sit on a fat one. Most of these jobs put your through hoops to get a job and then find out that its some bullshyt going on.
F**k em.
F**k em.

More often than not I tend to take that L.
My thoughts exactly. She played herself.Why leave a union job with tenure/severance

So this person left a job with awesome tangibles
for a job with potentially better intangibles?
Isn’t that what most people do when they switch jobs?
Of course Netflix falling off like it has recently probably was an unforeseen occurrence,
but this doesn’t seem like your average “greedy capitalist firm” story.

Thry should have given her a better severance. They're not taking any accountability here. They ducked up, give her 2 months and keep it moving. She also ducked up by not understanding what it’s like to woek for non unionized companies.

Lex with tv sets the minimum
right. these companies are only loyal to their bottom line.
if she had a good severance package at the old gig, she should have negotiated for a similar (or a better) package with netflix when they made an offer. she downgraded from 18 to 2. she played herself
Precisely why I had no sympathy for companies crying about not being able to find workers. Didn’t care about the great resignation or anything else thry were hitching about. Companies have 0 loyalty and employees should know that.
She played herself big time. This is why people who have seniority at companies don’t leave. It’s much better to be laid off then look for a job so you can get that hefty severance. This will just make her more cautious in the future.
Govenment should do a better job of protecting employees. These massive companies should be offering no less than 2 months severance. Make then think twice before laying people off as a auto-response to the company’s failings.
Lots of companies constantly layoff the bottom performers even when the Business is booming. Working in IT Security we normally get tasked with terminating that person's access.
They cut a small enough amount of people to avoid WARN Act reporting requirements. Unless you work with the people directly affected you have no idea this is going on every quarter.
Most employees don't even realize upper management is constantly spying on them with new monitoring software. They keeping records on who all they can cut when the time comes. I've even been on the chopping block before but quit on them before they could hem me up. I know when you pushed some monitoring software to my machine and are watching. I was on the project when you bought the software dumbass. So I know what to look for and how it works.
Working in IT you see this all the time. Yet these same Managers making these cuts have the nerve to give me shyt when I bounce elsewhere for more money. I'm like didn't you just fire a few people last week for no damn reason? And you expect me to be loyal to you?

You have to be naive as fukk to believe only bottom performers get laid off.
A lot of y’all missing the point.
don’t leave ur current job unless you feel you can do something very few are capable of at the new job. Also, if you’re going to leave ur current gig, make sure the new salary at ur next gig is significantly higher. High enough that u can save months of expenses.

I started my adult life working in fast food and retail, while living on my own. I was always fearful of losing my job because I thought it would be hard to find another one.
Flash forward 20 years and I have been a accounting financial consultant for 13+ years. I can get a job very easily now. However, I had access to board rooms were resource conversations were being held. They talk plainly about RIFS and layoffs in a very casual manner. Yet, they never have the balls to fire someone themselves, and they never tell anyone the truth about anything. It’s all corporate-speak non-sense that I can’t stand.
one thing I learned is the people in charge don’t give a flying shyt about their workers. They talk a bunch a crap about diversity, LGTB, work life balance and BLM. It’s just to protect their image.
I have seen people with years of loyalty with a company get dropped without notice. However, you leave without a 2 week notice and you’re unprofessional.
here’s the thing. fukk these people.
Keep a 6 month+ emergency fund, and you take charge of your retirement with a 401K and Roth. Don’t get trapped with a pension.
the moment you smell bullshht, put in your notice and leave.
company loyalty has to be the most insane thing I have ever heard in my life.
the only thing to worry about is healthcare because COBRA is expensive. But if there is a single payer system in the future, I don’t see one single reason to be loyal to company.
if there is UBI and single payer , wages might go up slightly if only because employees will be so embolden to just say “yeah, fukk this”.

Also keep in mind layoffs target black folk.

This is a normal risk whenever you take a new position somewhere
It would be nice if the company at least stretched the role out a couple months or transfer you to another department but it is what it is
Imagine all the people just starting new jobs at these companies where the stock is falling 20-30%. Probably nervous as hell
Worst I’ve seen is a company I was at laid off a bunch of contractors they hired in 2 weeks because the project they hired them for never got approved budget
. Headcount was probably part of the proposal, that’s to say they hired these people hoping that hiring them would create a budget to pay them. Couple those people moved from other states
