The entire software department at work was fired yesterday. I had already quit and today is my last day. While I already have a new position starting next week, the rest of the department is looking. There are QA, frontend ( #angular ), and backend ( #python #Django) engineers, technical writer and software compliance specialists, UI/UX designers, SREs, our manager. If you're #hiring #remote in #Germany or on-site, I'd love to forward contact details. #getfedihired

@markush I thought that layoffs were illegal in Germany.

@njoseph @markush haha no, just much more regulated. The post creator didn't go into detail, but there might have been a good (e.g. economical) reason that lead to and could have allowed this. Also, even though they were fired, the employer typically still has to abide by the contract cancellation deadlines (which is at least 1 month).

@njoseph @markush they're not, but you're not being laid off next day, you're getting several salaries.
