      Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

      It goes hand in hand with the “if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward” line of thinking.

          I didn’t have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.
