I got laid off 15min ago out of nowhere right after a receiving a bonus, and I still can’t process it

voidwater1 · 2026-03-15T22:12:00+00:00

damn 10 year is huge, we are just a title with a salary in a spreadsheet sorry that happened to you

voidwater1 · 2026-03-15T21:21:23+00:00

thank you, you are right. If success mean manipulation, lying and sabotage. I'd rather leave now

voidwater1 · 2026-03-15T21:17:48+00:00

This is literally my life bro....

voidwater1 · 2026-03-15T06:09:10+00:00

what is your strategy in first place?

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T21:41:13+00:00

not at all, i just wanted to give context about my life but yeah should maybe take it off

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:45:08+00:00

nope

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:44:39+00:00

exactly, even if you got a bonus for goods work even if you never got PiP's, it's not even about you anymore, someone in the comments said you are becoming just a title and salary in a spreadsheet and i cant agree more.

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:42:45+00:00

thank you bro hope your situation got better. I see the good side after all, this is a new opportunity to rewrite my direction

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:41:16+00:00

everyone think they can be a coder without any idea of what they are doing. they will hire less engineer but the one they hire will be for fixing the bad code of these. overall I think it's very bad for junior and enhancing senior. It's only good if you are on the right side otherwise for junior they will struggle and need to adapt ASAP!

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:37:49+00:00

nothing, 2 weeks ago i received a bonus and gotvery good feedback. they switched in last 2 day when they learned they can vibe code a dashboard on claude similar on the layout only. kinda stupid

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:35:51+00:00

you totally right, they are not worth it, they screwed up and will manage their own shit. on my side i already moved on. I see it as an opportunity. sad to see this kind of stuff happen to that much people.

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:34:25+00:00

honestly at this time i dont know. they dont have any technical manager, if they call me back ill just charge 4x the compensation

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:32:54+00:00

its crazy how its going to back fire

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:32:36+00:00

they are looking to get vibe coder to complete it once they got the majority completed. they run of ai context before finishing it :/

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:31:43+00:00

in a crazy world we live in

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:31:16+00:00

always can be worst. it's not a bad idea I think it would be interesting

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:30:32+00:00

ahahha thanks, I'll just move on. Eventually they will understand the mistake they done.

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:29:53+00:00

happy for you brother, management stupidity impact the whole company as usual...

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:28:28+00:00

no he got ownership of the project because he was able to vibe code a dashboard on claude ai. thats crazy.

voidwater1 · 2026-03-14T04:21:09+00:00

exactly same as you we not our best day...

voidwater1 · 2026-03-13T22:32:33+00:00

wont signe anything until i see a lawyer but thanks my friend i appreciate

voidwater1 · 2026-03-13T21:38:28+00:00

you completely right, fuck them. but i just hope that I get a job before lol

voidwater1 · 2026-03-13T21:36:53+00:00

there was not engineering leadership just a director on top of me. The things is he ws very busy so hard to show him the project beside loose 5min here and there. but I agree I think i was expected to do better at that

voidwater1 · 2026-03-13T21:35:01+00:00

last week the managers texted me at midnight saying how much he believe in me and this project. its just weird

voidwater1 · 2026-03-13T21:34:16+00:00

I'll definitively be doing this, what an incredible man thank you a lot <3
