I’m so very sorry, Adam. I know this pain all to well and the feeling of betrayal that comes with it. I know it’s cliche, but time does heal this. My outcome turned out to be the best thing to have happened to me. I hope it is for you, too.

Really sucks, Adam. I totally get it. These giant corps don’t care about you. No matter what they said. There’s lots you don’t lose…the skills, the experience, who you are as a person. I know it seems tough but you’re going to recover. You deserved better and you’ll get it.

I felt similarly back in Jan 2023's layoff. It's traumatic, but it gets better over time. I'm sure someone with your skill set and community engagement will find (or even pave!) a path forward. Check out the resources at xoogler.co if you haven't already.

sorry, man. BigCos are just casually throwing away talent and burning goodwill now. Sucks for everyone, but there will be second and third acts. These firms are creating their own future competitors in real-time.

Not to be a reply guy here — I don't know you, you don't know me — but the good people at Google, particularly those on Chrome and DevRel, are better than Google.

You and others inspired me to go after a DevRel role (I applied to the wrong one and the onsite kicked my ass 👎) and you and others will keep making the web a better place, probably at a place that can take the torch from Google at this point.
