I was wondering if a person can get fired (due to low PSC rating) before the layoffs happen in Apr? Are there any benefits an employee would receive if they are fired? Eg: severance, health insurance etc. I was warned recently (due to low rating), so I was wondering if I should wait to get laid of...Read more
Elon made a power move and fired Parag as soon as he took over Twitter.

Hypothetic question. This guy asked me a Leetcode hard question, and then he just sat there to see me fail. I didn't get in.

I have accumulated a decent chunk of money so that it doesn't really matter much if I get fired and can't work for a long time. Not enough to be comfortable retiring, though. B...Read more
