When a Programmer gets laid off

Manager: Hey, how are you? Programmer: I'm good. I'm good. Manager: That's great. Yeah. So overall, you're performing well. Your reviews have been positive. No complaints. Programmer: That's great to hear. Manager: Do you have anything else you want to discuss today? Programmer: No, not really. Manager: Okay. Sounds good. Yeah, I don't have anything else either. We'll circle back in a few months, okay? Programmer: Sounds good. Talk soon. HR: I don't have good news for you today. Yeah, so I'll just get straight to the point. After careful consideration and discussion, we have decided to not move forward with your employment here. Programmer: Is this really happening? HR: With some organizational shifts happening, we feel like you're just not ready to move on with us. Programmer: You said I was good. Is there anything we can do about this? HR: What do you mean? Programmer: Like, can this be fixed in any way? HR: Oh, no. No. Do you have anything else you want to talk about? Programmer: I guess not. HR: All right, then we'll have someone reach out to you about your exit instructions. Goodbye. Programmer: Good luck with everything. Good luck. Yeah.
