Where are all those people who keep saying they can't wait to be laid off? This is your moment to shine. Go and volunteer and help save the jobs of those of us who want to stay. You'll be hailed as a hero. Or are your constant posts that "being laid off would be a blessing" or any variation of the same nothing but empty talk?

I and many others I’ve known throughout my career have volunteered and none of us were let go. They knew if we stayed we’d be far more useful than those they wanted to layoff and if we left they’d still get rid of those they wanted to layoff and we’d be free additional reductions in spending. Our motives were no more pure in that we knew we could (and did) get better jobs but the addition of a package would have been nice.
Can’t opt-in or volunteer for this LR.
They could put up a monument wall at SJC10. Fitting tribute I think....
I left couple of months ago as I saw this coming earlier in the year. Do I get any thanks for potentially saving someone's job? Saw the news splash and thought of visiting this site after a long time.
Or lay low, keep getting paid wfh. After recession leave.
Being laid off would be a blessing. RTP is closing.
