I've read that before but bravo for linking it to a perfect example
I thought that way in the early 2000s when I was laid off from Microsoft. It was a blessing in disguise for me and opened up more doors that I never knew existed.
It's much different world now, but I hope everyone who got laid off recently gets a better job.
It's not. The Internet bubble was destroying every tech job. September 11th.... You might just be too young to remember what it was like.
Yeah things were way different before the patriot act, but I was really too young to know about that honestly
