Corporate office cancelled our core server hardware line. I saw the pallets of moving boxes come into the office the night before.

I took the opportunity to upload all of my work to the company servers and close out what tickets I could. Came into work the next day in a suit, trying to maintain some semblance of class.

Hardware development got reduced 66%, myself included.

Saw it coming in the nebulous sense, but the layoffs happened about 6 months before I was ready, since I wanted the last product release on my resume.

Took me almost a year before I found stable employment again. 1/10 would not repeat the experience.
