This is why you collect incriminating personal info about those above you in the food chain.

That sucks. If you are competent software engineer or are capable of becoming one in short order, you should be able to land on your feet. So, at least you have that going for you.

Why are EV companies laying anyone off? Seems like they should be blowing up.

Were you the only employee “laid off?”
there are still severe supply chain constraints that are hampering a ton of production, so while demand is still high for EV (all types including transit, every day use, etc) companies are still struggling to meet demand in part bc of this.

Also, banks have dried up a good bit to alot of companies.

Lots went on huge hiring sprees last year and are already trying to cut the jobs they added only months later.

Sorry to hear, you'll land on your feet quickly in this job market. Were you fully remote? Feel like those are the easiest for companies to include in a RIF. One reason I avoid applying for fully remote positions.

Don’t you love it when companies do these ham-fisted, across-the-board cuts, then wonder why processes/systems stop working and are FUBAR for years after?

Sorry to hear man, hopefully the severance tides you over until you find something better.

I'm sure the Indian programmer they hire (at a 1/3 of your salary) to replace you will figure it out.

Sorry to hear it. My company is doing layoffs today. They laid off my memphis counterpart. Got a big “future” call in an hour where they’ll talk about how this is a good thing even though I’ll get to pick up her territory without a raise.

I’m glad they offered a severance. Hoping you get a new job by the end of that period.
