Exceptional essay from a software engineer who does indeed learn some hard truths. No1 - that getting laid off is a profoundly lonely experience - really struck home with me, particularly as this was a recurring theme in the Brainfood Live we hosted on psychological impact of redundancy late last year. Worth a read for all of us here - to help mentally prep for the inevitable for ourselves, but also as a primer for giving the right type of support when others in your network need it most.
