All I read is a bunch of stupid post that provide no real information about the layoff. Is this the place to come to say "I got laid off"? And "I'm going to post stupid immature stuff because I was laid off"? What is the purpose of this site?

Same reason people post crazy stuff on facebook circuit twitter meet the cardashions jeery sprinter ..... More fun to amplify drama and speculate than work. And in a small way it is most people's only way to get their point of view read
Nice try HR

I’ll go a bit wide here as I think this is a very good question. I think the board morphed since I landed here for the first time back in 2015.
In general, the workplace information availability is asynchronous, with the management having access to dis-proportionally more information if compared to the worker. This applies to layoffs, strategy, policy and pretty much any other topic that is of relevance to the worker.
What’s going on here on thelayoff goes one step beyond sharing info on layoffs, this forum provides each of us a chance to slightly level the information availability playing field by pooling info we have access to. Add to this some good Samaritan leaks, a bit of frustration, suppressed emotions, and a handful of nut jobs, there you have it – thelayoff dot com…
Each of us is free to choose on how we use this resource, there is a ton of noise here, but you deal with that in your everyday interaction with the media as well – you filter out junk, and you focus on those rare nuggets of good stuff that provide some substance.
So, had it not been for 2016 layoffs, we’d probably never know that we have a platform for anonymously exchanging opinions and info. It’s entirely up to each one of us here what we will do with this resource. Many of us land here once and never visit back, yet, given 1,000s of views each post gets, I’d venture to say that there are many who find some value in getting info and finding some entertainment here.

OP, Why you came here? Why you posted this stupid Question? Ask yourself and get your own answer. I learned about who got laid off in my group here before my managers told me.
Hmmm, I venture to guess... You are Indian? So informed and on it. Like Cpt. Obvious.
BK .... is that you? C'mon let the people share some info here. I think Murthy is texting you on your Laptop......
Hi OP! Many posts are informative and most people are civil. The forum has been great for sharing information and for quickly getting candid answers to questions. There is one bitter individual (who may be slightly mentally handicapped) who spends all his free time posting silly stuff about H1B1 Visas and Indians and maybe one other troll. Other than that, you do see some whining here and there. I would guess most people check it once a day looking for nuggets of relevant information.
If you don't like.. then go to "CIRCUIT"
Yes
The last poster "-orl" proved the OP point. What an idiot. LOL
You need better reading comprehension. I suggest you go back to school.
