i didn't get hit in the first round (my manager was blindsided by it too but it doesn't sound like many codecels got hit) but now i have the entire summer to spend wondering if i'll still have a job
started applying for other jobs today i hate job searching so much, guess i better start grinding leetcode again too

I think you already know, but that's a totally unprofessional approach. Even if you have legal notice requirements (e.g. California), you still wouldn't do this sort of indefinite notice. It just makes everyone anxious for, um, an indefinite time. Really awful for morale to leave that any more open-ended than legally required.
Honestly, I'd even pick the Elon Twitter approach of paying out extended severance instead of burdening employees with a sword of Damocles.

Yeah I thought it was really bizarre to leave it open like that. It was even an email from the CEO, so straight from the very top of a Fortune 500 company. It's a great way to get high performing employees to start looking elsewhere. I am not one of those but I'm also looking now lol.

Good luck man. I'm going through something similar, but it looks like instead of a layoff they're gonna force me in to a staff augmentation position and whore me out to other companies.

Apparently code monkeys are now "R&D" and must be amortized w/e the frick that means but now code monkeys are more expensive for companies because they can't write them of for five years. Orange site is furious. They characterize this as r-slurred oversight in giant 2017 tax bill by r-slurred congress. I haven't heard otherwise so I agree.

Amortization means you deduct from taxable profit the "loss" (cost) of a 'machine' over time. Stuff wears out over time, so conceptually that's why they have this accounting fiction. This new "R&D" is pretty insane and presents a lovely barrier too trade for any startup that relies on codecels.

I thought about it and browsed thread some more. This doesn't even raise tax revenue long term, it just hurts startups/expansion. Very, very r-slurred.

This is 100% politics. For financial reporting, you expense R&D immediately still.

one of the few things I like about my job is I get to know pretty much first when someone is getting fired. it's interesting being on the firing side without actually having to do anything besides lock someone out of their account/computer remotely

i'm kinda at that point i hate my job quite a bit
but i also make a decent amount of money in a low cost of living area and do very little work so i'm trying to drag it out as long as possible

I wasn’t making great money ($80k/yr in some armpit in the south), but I only did like 10hrs/wk of work. Liked my coworkers but I was ready to blow my fricking brains out. Found a much better and engaging job and I’m kinda mad I didn’t start sooner. Immediate quality of life change. Food for thought.

You need to start making connections with your peers and uppers NOW. Frick codeleet, start asking where people are going in private and start organizing to get hired somewhere else in groups of 2-3. If you’re well liked, this is the best way to survive a layoff.

This clown is a sarcastic, disingenuous individual, don't even waste your time responding to him. He's not courageous or intelligent enough to debate issues and theories in an honest, straightforward way, so he (?) hides behind his defense mechanisms… in this case, playing a sarcastic, incoherent punk/rebel who makes no sense (because he's not trying to). Seems he's trying to draw attention to himself, and discredit facts and opinions he doesn't like by belittling them, as opposed to refuting them or making rational counter-arguments like us adult folks. He reminds me of an annoying, 15 year-old little shit desperate for attention, but lacking the wisdom or life experience to say anything intelligent enough to actually contribute to the conversation, or be useful to anyone. Don't waste your time!! Hope that helps. 🙂
