If I had learned I was laid off I would have been overjoyed. Shopify has changed so much in a short time that I can't even recognize it as the company I used to enjoy working at anymore. The culture has shifted and is now a toxic mess of competitiveness instead of cooperation. Employees are treated worse and worse every single day. I'm looking for a way out as I type this and I know many others are as well.

I was laid off and I can confirm that after getting over the initial shock and then seeing the interest in the market for my role, I felt a huge sense of relief and freedom.
