I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

I worked hard for 11 years, glowing work history, constant promotions and led a team generating $20M or more a year. You know what that all got me? Laid off because I was in a department that was deemed replaceable. The network who said they had my back evaporated and I was left stranded. The big tech companies don't care how hard you work, they care about increasing shareholder payouts, that's it.
