For me:

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

    We had big layoffs last year. The order of layoffs was troublemakers that couldn’t be fired for other reasons > attendance > performance > how recent you were hired.

      They got me before the layoffs started by fiting me after I sought FMLA for my mental health after months of deterioration following discrimination from my director. My discrimination lawyer loved that addition to our case.

      I watched a Director level employee get let go during a round of layoffs because he caused to much trouble by fighting for his employees.
