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.
Damn I hope you got paid! I meant legit troublemakers like stealing stuff but no one could prove even though we all knew. Not doing work to expected quality. Causing drama within the group.
At least the stories I’ve heard my company is pretty good about medical and mental issues. I know they kinda forced my old boss into early retirement but they made sure he’d get long term disability until actual retirement which was like a decade away. We’ve kept in touch and he’s happy as a clam with how it turned out.
I already had a lawyer for the discrimination which led to the mental health crisis, so he was happy to throw this in for damages when the time comes. We’re still in the courts so we’ll see how it goes. Pretty sure a jury would side with me over an evil massive corporation that you would probably recognize, likely because you or people you know are forced to be their customer due to effective geographoc monopolization in the industry.
Glad to hear about your company and old boss. It’s always good to know those places are still out there.
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.
