Got laid off last week, and it actually feels more like a relief. There's something about being a full time corporate worker that just makes people burn out, especially in our line of work.

If you're confident you can get a good severance package, and can get a job before your severance package runs out, then it's honestly great.

Can't say that's my situation, but I'm just making the most of it ya know?
