Got laid off today. (lemmy.world)

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.

Not sure what industry you're in, but the Maryland state government is hiring in quite a few agencies across a swath of different jobs at the moment (I have family in state government who see these things and talk about them).

Not great pay compared to the private sector in many cases, but the benefits are decent, and you can probably pick up a job fairly quickly that can tide you over while you work toward the next thing you want.

Is the state gov paid out of state funds or also affected if the federal gov goes into another lockdown?
