    My dad just got diagnosed with cancer, I just bought a house, I was at a conference in San Francisco and my boss cornered me before the flight home saying i was being laid off. They literally don’t care.

        Guy was asking for the rest of the story. Not really that interesting: finished out a month at that company as “handover,” got a month severance pay, used those two months to look for a new job. Got one.
