Whole Maryland office is being “consolidated” with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous.

Assholes at the top are the reason they’re losing money, production as far as I can tell was quite lean and putting out lots of product. They’re just gonna lop an arm off and hope it works out, and fuck the rest of us now out of a job cause they can’t balance overhead.

    First, I wasn’t suggesting it as a permanent move. You live in the other place until you find a job back in your original location, but all the while you’d still have a job, income, and most importantly, health insurance.

    Do you guys and the people who upvoted you not have friends and family?

    Multiple times during my childhood one of my parents had to move ahead to a different city to take a job while the other parent stayed in the original place until the end of the school year and we’d move.

    I’m baffled by the nonchalant suggestion that someone pick up their life and move across the country thousands of miles from anyone they know, on what is more or less the whims of strangers.

    You do what you have to do to make ends meet. When there is no easy way you do the hard thing because thats what being an adult is.
