I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It's gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

I was very happy to do the exit interview at one particular job. I wanted to make it clear to HR that I wasn't leaving because of the manager or the work or my co-workers but because they paid about 2/3 of the market rate in our area.

This was important to me because my manager and co-workers were great and it had gotten around to me that HR was eyeing our manager over having had a few people quit over the last year or two, when it was very clearly all about pay and nothing to do with him.

You did your manager a solid, because of the meme people quit managers not jobs.
