    My entire web team got laid off from a major car company. Right before we got paid our yearly bonus and right before I went on my paternity leave.

      I work for a European company, and we had a major US car company as a client. 6 month ago they abruptly stopped working with us and fired a bunch of their engineers, and now they hired again and are trying to negotiate a new deal with us.

        Because they are giving us a tiny severance for being quiet. I’ll take what I can get.

        Maybe worried about looking personally identifiable. It’s understandable.
