Laid off on my birthday
On my birthday, March 23rd, while on vacation with my wife, we were about to head out for a special lunch when I received a message asking me to join an all-hands meeting that had been rescheduled. I thought it might be good news from our CEO. However, two hours later, I found myself jobless as my YC company laid off about 2/3 of its employees via an unexpected Zoom call. I was in the car with my wife, too stunned to drive for 15 minutes.
This is new territory for me. I’m documenting the process daily via this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb2wIPfVreVt5vI5eKmICUlHnAZsG3o1i
