I think getting from 500k+ salary to slightly under 500k salary and maybe having to visit a bunch of interviews hardly qualifies as dystopian nightmare. I realize being fired is no fun. It is very stressful and upsetting and people undergoing it should have all the sympathy. But let's be real - if we're talking about people making 10x national averages, they are not downtrodden underprivileged proletariat. So makes sense to do a reality check here and tone it down a bit.
