One thing #techlayoffs has made clear, there is no dream job, dream company or dream workplaces. We have seen how some of these "Dream Workplaces" treated their employees, while firing them, and some of them were those who served them longtime.

Companies are here to make profit, for them their shareholders and investors are important, you are just a cog in the wheel to be used and thrown. Don't ever get attached to your workplace, there is a life beyond it. #techlayoffs

Layoffs in tech are inevitable, don't ever assume that just because you served the company for donkey's years or you got some performance award, you will never be fired. When they want to fire you, they will, just be prepared for the worst. #techlayoffs

Yes layoffs are hard, but it's not the end of the world. And basically in Tech, you have this boom-bust cycle always. The key here is how to handle the layoffs and mitigate the impact. #techlayoffs

Good times are not going to be forever, always have a good amount stashed away in savings and investments. Especially in India, where there is no concept of safety net. Have enough in reserve to get through the tough times. #techlayoffs

Have a network of people who can help you out, as in people who are in the field, who are working in good positions, and who can help out. You won't find em showing off much on Social Media, but they are the ones who can help you. #techlayoffs

Keep away from social media influencers, Linked In experts, all are a bunch of frauds, who just keep babbling to get followers. Don't take em seriously or follow their advice, unless you want to get screwed.

And above all, don't make any workplace your life. Company seeks to make money out of you, you seek to make a living out of it. It's a purely transactional relationship, getting emotionally invested makes no sense. #techlayoffs
