Shoutouts to Hitmarker | Gaming Jobs for spotlighting our upcoming game You Got Laid Off, a game we made after getting laid off lol.

This is "You Got Laid Off" by indie game dev duo Kevin Lee and Max Hsu, who—you guessed it—were both let go in 2023, along with thousands of others. Together they now make up Satirical.Biz and have a very apt working slogan of "misery loves company" 😅.
