  • I was laid off in October as part of a restructuring. I knew it was coming months in advance – so when the big day came, I had all of my assets and IP that I had ever built over the last 3 years, already saved on a cloud server. I also purged anything that was unfinished, backed up, or otherwise legally mine to remove because it was not a current project or asset. When I was given my push out the door, I informed them I had already cleaned up any messes left behind, to ensure a smooth, clean space to transition for the new designer responsible for all learning content within the org. They didn’t say anything for about 2 minutes. Then the call ended. It was the single most satisfying departure I’ve ever felt, and to this day I talk shit on social media directly to them, and they can’t do anything about it. I also got a little severance for not quitting first, so added bonus for patience I guess.
