Couldn't happen to better people. Just looking at some of the "I just got laid off, here is my resume plz hire me" posts over the last few days and I am shocked at how shamelessly retarded some of them are.

Why would you admit to working on Civ 7, a game so reviled it cause prior games in the series to reach new peaks over it? Why would you even admit to being laid off, something that indicates how disposable your position was in the first place?

They all seem to think they are this incredible talent in a competitive market that is just chomping to poach people, instead of a highly oversaturated industry with probably double the amount of employees available compared to needed jobs.
