  • Absolutely! Got a buttload of severance, then my country started paying heaps of COVID jobless bonus money for like a year and a half. It worked out perfectly (though I did feel terrible for taking advantage of that while some of my closest friends had to go into work and stuff)

    My job was totally fine, byt my partner had been laid off right before me. I was happy to be able to spend a bunch of time with them—I didn’t even know about COVID yet. Then a couple months later, everything shut down. I didn’t work for years. It was incredible.

    My boss and HR lady were very solemn when I was laid off from my last job RIGHT BEFORE COVID started. I was BEAMING. HR lady said I was the most unconventional layoff she’s ever done. I thanked her and shook her hand. It was the best thing that happened to me in a long time.
