💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

I just received a job offer that is a massive step up in title and salary, but the online reviews for the team’s culture are absolutely terrifying. Half the Glassdoor reviews mention high turnover and a toxic leadership style, while the interviewers themselves seemed incredibly stressed out during our calls. The extra $30k a year would change my financial life. Would you take a risk on a known toxic environment?

I feel like not only are we in a K shaped economy, but we also are in a K shaped job market. I see the top 1% of workers (often those with AI experience) get insane offers while the rest are struggling to hear back from recruiters. Does this seem accurate? Or am I overblowing it

Are we just going to be living in a perpetual state of fearing layoffs? Within the last year it seems like there are rumors on a monthly basis about my company planning layoffs and I've heard similar things from others in tech. I know the job market normally ebbs and flows but it feels with the advent of AI this is just forever going to be our lives now. What to do? 😭

Is there an ethical limit to how much wealth one individual should be allowed to accumulate, even if it was earned legally and through innovation?
