I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It’s gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

    Honestly, the biggest yolo is to be professional, prepared, drama free. Don’t even let it bother you.

    I’m above this, I have my own plan, I have confidence… It will distinguish you.

    I once had a new job lined up, but hadn’t put my notice in, I got laid off before the Friday I was going to put my notice in. The firing officers complemented me on how well I was taking it.

    Then 3 months later they hire me as a side contractor at 5x my salaried rate while I was still doing my new full time job.

    So yeah… Yolo is about having your life together and being above other people’s drama, a bit of luck helps too.

      I know a few people who have been hired back on as contractors when the company realised they went too far or laid off people with unique experience.

      Yolo is for teenagers leaving Burger King naked.
