So getting laid off from a FAANG is like twice as bad as getting laid off from <other tech company>
Except you've had however long collecting an outrageous salary and stock that dwarfs 95% of people working in tech, much less other industries.
Yeah, it sucks for the people who are laid off, and I don't wish them ill or anything, but it's hard to have too much sympathy if they were financially irresponsible with their enormous compensation. I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for lottery winners who lose it all in 1-2 years, either.
While it always sucks to get laid off, IMO it is better not to work for them if you aren't a developer. They basically try every trick to outsource or reduce lower paid roles (which means over working you) to not get penalized for widely varying pension benefits, etc.
For non-development roles, getting laid off sucks, there's no way around that. but they can hopefully find a comparable salary at a different company.
