There have been so many layoffs over the past few weeks, and so much of the coverage has rightly focused on the downside for the people impacted. I wanted to write a more optimistic take.

I studied Joseph Schumpeter and the Mickey Mouse Club and came to the conclusion that being laid off could be the best thing to happen to many recently ex-employees of high-growth startups.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and if you know someone who would find an optimistic take on the situation helpful, share away.
