It’s definitely been a sad day – both losing people in current company and knowing folks in my ex company also losing jobs. Just tough all around ugh.

Two people that I managed in the past were let go. One of them is on h1b and was almost close to getting his green card. He now has to find a job almost immediately and refile his GC again. I feel bad for him but he should have seen this coming almost 2 years ago.
My god the dour news doesn’t stop does it? Former company lays off 16000 folks after laying off 14000 in October.
My ideal retirement would be in an elephant sanctuary taking care of them!
Honestly at this point I would like to just open a kirana shop and sit in it.
What a time to join the new company. 2 weeks in and they announce a 15% layoff. Like Jesus Christ can I just focus on work for a few months without the constant worry. My last company is probably laying off 15k tomorrow as well. The whole tech environment is just so goddamn sad right now it’s not funny. This is the worst tech has been for this long.

Fun campy masala mix that we rewatched again after it first came out. R enjoyed it and I honestly did not remember the movie at all!
Our neighbors across the street have a son who is one year older to R. They didn’t shovel the entire weekend. Today that teen basically cleared their entire driveway by himself including walkways, sidewalks and part of road to make it easier for their cars to navigate. My kid helped a lot as well, well beyond what I could ask for, but goddamn the difference in muscle strength between boys vs girls as they age is so visible especially in physical tasks. (This is not meant to be sexist so please don’t come at me.)
Schools closed tomorrow also. Guaranteed closure on Wednesday and this is a full week staycay for kids.
1 hour of grueling shoveling the complete icebox and I cleared probably half the drive way. Will definitely another hour or so of this with fam help to break through the ice and make this palatable.
