This reasonated with me. I was fired out of the blues. I spent almost a year thinking I was the problem. But I wasn't. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Tech is honestly more rewarding and wonderful than this piece makes it seem! I’ve worked at some amazing companies with some brilliant people. Get stuck in ☺️
This was emotionally raw. I am so sorry that Louise had to experience this. It unfortunately happens at every company, tech or not. It's the system at play with no regard to people or their lives. If they did, people would be more than a blip on a spreadsheet.

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable experience 🫂... It's never easy to start fresh, but sometimes it means better opportunities are ahead.
As a woman entering tech with an imposter syndrome, this is scary. Thank you for sharing!

Don’t let it stop you. Tech can be a hard place, but it can also be really rewarding.
This really hit a chord. Wonderful written piece. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Me too!
And all that post mortem analysis...
Turns out several people were laid off and it seems to be that we were senior staff making good money 🤗

You have been fired because of... capitalism. It's that simple. Sorry for your horrible experience.
