I'm never happy about other people's suffering with the exception of fascists, putinists, nazis and other people who break the social contract of tolerance.

That said, a some of computer programmers from the Western countries who used to work for big tech are the very same people who were using commie narrative and trying to make me feel bad about making businesses and hiring contractors to delegate the work I can't do.

Now that they're laid off and they need to adjust their lavish lifestyle to market-average salaries across the industries, I'm genuinely eager to see what will they achieve and what percentage of them will start hiring contractors and delegate as they hustle, trying to stay afloat and/or increase the quality of their lives.

I've started in a poor family in Eastern Europe, my mom had to work two jobs to feed me and pay 60$ a month for a non-shit meritocratic school (which was a great call on her end!), I started working more or less full time when I was 16. I didn't have the slightest chance to go to a reasonable uni (sorry, @latvijasuniversitate, you suck), and I *still* don't own property, nor am I eligible for a loan. I always wanted to tell that to the big tech commies, basking in their privilege, but I never felt it's worth the time.

But now that I see reasonable people being sorry for Facebook, Twitter and Google lay-offs, complaining about Github / Microsoft layoffs, I can't help but to feel like this has to be said. In general, imagine staying in Facebook post-2017?! I feel for people losing their jobs, but it's not a tragedy, for fuck's sake. Companies fuck up left and right in other industries. Job is not a tenure.
