Handling layoffs
How easy or difficult are devs and PMs finding it to get a job post layoff? Is the experience different across YoE?
Someone in ur team or someone u had good relationship (work wise) with gets laid off? Do u discontinue working as hard? Does ur team velocity decrease or increase as everyone does better for survival? Just wanna hear from folks who have gone through this and does employer not see any affect in work? (E.g. Twitter case)
For somefolks you are a number in an excel sheet. Just focus on your strengths and do what is best for you
The employer never cares. You are a replacable headcount and that's a reality. Yes morale goes down in the team, culture goes for a toss. I would say it depends on the individual on how affected one feels, as the promotion hungry colleague would still grind the same way no matter what.

Although you become the face of layoffs and you have to abide by what's instructed, how do you personally feel after a event like mass layoff?
What steps do you take to avoid or minimise the impact in such cases?
