I’m still not sure what a project manager contributes.

I’ve well over a decade in software project management. The number one thing we contribute to a project is saying to the client (internal or external) “Sure, we can add that feature but it will have an impact on the delivery timeline unless we deprioritise other features. Are you happy for us to extend the deadline? If not, let’s talk about what we can cut from the existing scope in favour of your new feature.”

Sir, yes sir!

Friendship is based on shared experiences.

So you need to find some experiences to share with people. Whether that’s evening pottery classes, joining (or starting) a man’s shed, joining a book club, joining a local amateur sport team, getting into a virtual TTRPG, joining a bridge club, or a chess club, or litter picking group, or bird-watching group… or something entirely different it’ll work as long as you have repeated exposure to the same group of people. Unless you pick a group who are all assholes. Or if you’re an asshole.

Yeah, that’s totally normal.

No matter how much you think of a job as just a commercial transaction between you and your employer it’s hard not to have a visceral, emotional reaction to being told ‘we don’t need you’.

I don’t know your financial situation, obviously, but my advice would be to try and take a bit of time out to clear your head of the old job and the layoff before you really get stuck in to finding your next gig. If you can afford to step back for a bit and clear the understandable negativity you’re currently experiencing then you’ll be far better set up for job hunting than if you just try and push through while you’re still in that negative mental space.

I’d be pretty distracted by the bear waiting behind me for his go.

Hmm, covfefe was just him trying to remember how to quit out of VIM. it tracks.

Aw. I was hoping to see him seamlessly fly to the Volii system, seamlessly fly to Volii Alpha, seamlessly land on the Neon landing pad, seamlessly enter the Bayu Plaza and, seamlessly interact with dozens of NPCs, many of whom have branching dialogue trees, and seamlessly loot the ever-loving crap out of hundreds of interactable objects.

Hilarious.
