I got laid off last Jan., completely unexpectedly, after closing a mammoth deal. It was a huge kick in the balls. Now I work for myself and make the same or more $$, but will kill it in year two. When I need a confidence booster, I call a former co-worker and let him rant about the BS I'm missing out on. It's schadenfreude writ large.

Schadenfreude! Oh I do love that term. The idiot that replaced me has zero talent and people skills.
Meanwhile
for real he has cost the company more than $300,000,000.
The customer account was the state government and partly because of his behaviour & attitude they missed out on a huge chunk of additional business. Other things happened as well but this guy was the last straw. This additional business was written into the contract but they are now in dispute.
I'd expect at some point this manager will be "let go" quietly and probably his buddy as well.
It's been a bloodbath since I left back in February. All of the contractors have been laid off and other management/leadership positions have evaporated. More than 30 people have been directly affected by this.
Isn't it funny how thing work out?
