I thought that way in the early 2000s when I was laid off from Microsoft. It was a blessing in disguise for me and opened up more doors that I never knew existed.
It's much different world now, but I hope everyone who got laid off recently gets a better job.
It's not. The Internet bubble was destroying every tech job. September 11th.... You might just be too young to remember what it was like.
