Whole Maryland office is being “consolidated” with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous.
Assholes at the top are the reason they’re losing money, production as far as I can tell was quite lean and putting out lots of product. They’re just gonna lop an arm off and hope it works out, and fuck the rest of us now out of a job cause they can’t balance overhead.
Do you guys and the people who upvoted you not have friends and family? I’m baffled by the nonchalant suggestion that someone pick up their life and move across the country thousands of miles from anyone they know, on what is more or less the whims of strangers.

Fly down to Austin, rent a PO Box, have mail diverted back to current house, claim you moved and wait till company notices while looking for a new job.
There are mail services in Texas that give you a street address and will forward the mail to whatever address you choose. No flying needed.
Someone I know keeps residency while spending his year moving from place to place. He doesn’t have a real home and never spends more than a few months in one place so it gives him a place to register his vehicle and keep his driver’s license up to date.
First, I wasn’t suggesting it as a permanent move. You live in the other place until you find a job back in your original location, but all the while you’d still have a job, income, and most importantly, health insurance.
Multiple times during my childhood one of my parents had to move ahead to a different city to take a job while the other parent stayed in the original place until the end of the school year and we’d move.
You do what you have to do to make ends meet. When there is no easy way you do the hard thing because thats what being an adult is.
