From an #npr friend re: coming #Layoffs

“By COB Friday, 100 NPR employees will know they are being laid off.

We don’t know who. Could be her, him, them, me.

To say things at work have been stressful is an understatement. For the past month, it’s been rather funereal and brains are very preoccupied
…
folks are tired, anxious, and unable to plan forward. Not a lot of joy. More like paddling in a slow whirlpool and just staying in place, exhausting yourself while trying not to get sucked in.”

Gawker, the gossipy and snarky pop-culture site rebooted in mid-2021, is shutting down — for a second time, with the CEO of parent company Bustle Digital Group citing the need to prioritize “better-monetizing sites.” In addition to Gawker’s shutdown, BDG chief Bryan Goldberg announced a layoff of 8% of staff across the company.

My latest investigation for Forbes: Cometeer raised more than $100 million for its flash-frozen coffee pods, popular with VCs and the tech twitter set.

But after multiple rounds of layoffs, high executive turnover and a quiet CEO switch, Cometeer's vision of disrupting coffee is melting. I spoke to 16 sources to find out what happened.

I am sure everyone has their own story to reach the point where they face it, but you will find things to motivate yourself. Though keep in mind there is no job security in the software field, and it is a cut-throat market; for businesses, employees, and everyone. And this risk and sacrifice, people working in the technical field must bear to do their work.

But my observations have been that; these layoffs, firing etc., have an overall positive impact on individuals and society. When it happens, these people in comfortable positions get challenged, which they cannot dodge, and the outcome is always better.

I am sure you will do great things with time in your case too. You will remember this event as a recalibration time, as I do.

Let me know if I can do anything for anyone; best of luck to you all!
