Let’s just get this over with. i left a good job to join Microsoft more than a year ago, and honestly, i’ve hated almost every minute of it... I’d gladly take a severance if it meant i could finally get out of here.
i get that people have families and responsiblities and can’t just walk away, but i’m so drained i wouldn’t even mind if they cut me. it’s already affecting my performance, and if it weren’t for this one oddly specific skill i have that’s tough to replace, they probably would’ve let me go by now...
with the august layoff rumors swirling, it just adds even more pressure.
