I was 34 years old when a business in fear of layoff. My son was 6 years old. He is 34 and was just laid off by a tech company.My words to him: “You have a right to be angry but before you get desperate, remember that you are the same age when I opened my company. Look at it as an opportunity. You are single, do not have a mortgage, do not have children, have no college debt and no car payments. You have 10 years of experience with a masters in Computer Science. The loss is on the tech company. In a couple of years you will look at the layoff as a blessing.”
