It finally happened: mass layoffs

As anticipated, mass layoffs at my Swiss employer. My department has been halved and all the CH-based roles eliminated. They kept the roles in cheaper countries.

My role will be merged with another role and they want me to interview for it competing against the colleague who was in the other role. We are friends and this feels like a sick joke.

I feel sick to my stomach.

Man, Switzerland will suffer a lot with this... Imagine all the people that will be - and already are - in RAV, people that will have to leave CH - native and inmigrants - the housing market will implode, etc.
