Good. I hope the lawsuit is successful. Intel did not handle this very well, to say the least.
Mistakes are OK. How you handle them makes a difference and Intel has been a shitshow on this front. For a long time.
If they had been acting in good faith the entire time this lawsuit would not exist.
You vastly overestimate the competence of the workforce in general. If you show up on time, work hard, and work to improve over time (don’t expect to be perfect! Just learn from mistakes!) you will be a coveted employee.
Hopefully this leads to improved feelings of self worth.
Reminds me of the YouTuber Mat Armstrong w/motto “Hard work beats talent.”
As others have said, pick a trade. Make bank. Get some friends who value you for you. F everyone else. Not literally lol
