#227: Imagine this. You walk into your office and your manager pulls you to the side and says \\u201cPack up your belongings. You\\u2019ve been made redundant. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.\\u201d

Just like that, you no longer have a job.

In even more extreme cases, just because a company exists today does not mean that it will exist tomorrow. Think about Enron, Blockbuster, Compaq and many others.

At this point in history, it\\u2019s not if, but when, will you be laid off and what will you do?

In this episode, we speak with Dagna Bieda, founder of theMindfulDev.com, about strategies to "layoff-proof" your engineering career, touching on topics like the role of AI in the industry, the importance of mental health, and the impact of our belief systems on our careers.
