Former Meta Employee Says Layoff Increased Savings Through Overlapping Jobs
A former Meta employee shared on Blind that being laid off helped increase their savings by overlapping salaries from a new job with severance pay and receiving a stock vest. They invested about Rs 30,000 of the extra income, resulting in more funds than if they had stayed at Meta. The post sparked discussion, with some noting this outcome depends on timing and severance policies, while others cautioned that such cases may be exceptions in a challenging job market.
