• You’re unlikely to get fired during this consolidation. Firing is only done for cause, for either behavioral, performance, or legal problems. In many companies, you’d also be first put into a Performance Improvement Plan, where the problems that might lead to you being fired are formally raised to you and you’re given the conditions you need to meet to not be fired.

• What you’re likely facing is a layoff, where a company terminates your job because your role is no longer needed. This is important, because in a layoff, you get severance pay, unemployment insurance, and potentially other benefits, while being fired may impact your ability to get these benefits.

• Generally, it’s better to not quit if you don’t have to. If you stay and you get fired/laid off, you lose income you were about to lose anyway. If you quit but could have stayed and kept your role, you lose income you didn’t have to lose.

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.

Yeah, I said that without looking up the prices for a Rivian and remembered why I’m not actually considering getting one 😭. The world just still isn’t ready for an all electric car manufacturer that is both affordable and not run by a manchild smdh

Same here, some friends of mine really got into car hacking with Teslas in particular and I was looking forward to sharing more hobbies with them. But at this point, I’d be embarrassed as hell to tell anyone I intentionally bought a Tesla, even a used one. And besides, if I really want the “sleek futuristic electric car by the dedicated electric car company”, Rivian exists (unless their CEO is somehow worse than Elon 😬😩)

They’re in the same county, but that doesn’t mean Evanston politics impacts Chicago at all. Cook county politics have almost nothing to do with city politics, for both Chicago and Evanston.

I mostly just want a phone that doesn’t want to sell me on new ways to use my phone that I don’t already do. I don’t want a phone that’s constantly trying to get me to use voice search, or try out some AI feature, or a search engine, etc. I have a newer Samsung tablet, and by default holding the power button turned on voice search instead of the power off menu? I fucking hate that shit, it was thankfully changeable but it was annoying that I had to change it back. I literally never use voice search. I fucking hate talking to computers, I’m not talking to a machine unless it’s actually capable of feeling offended if I don’t
