The Marxist robin-hood theory of taking from the rich, and giving to the poor isn't my cup of tea. 

I was a finance manager in a high tech company, since my company does lay-off every year, I know there will one day be my turn to let go. so I want to get into insurance industry. since gotten my license in 2014, I was not able to sell much policy.

If Lyfts layoffs matter, then I am not sure what you have to say about Tesla, Google, Apple hitting their best financials ever.

They start to raise prices belayed their costs are rising and eventually they cut costs to keep profit margins and that means layoffs.

If I were you I would just delete that Robinhood app, go with something more traditional like a Schwab account and just buy some high dividend yield ETF's plus a few aristocrat dividend stocks you like and leave them alone/ manage them slightly occasionally.

Failure - Those who don't educate themselves, don't spend time learning, don't pick a strategy, are impatient, and want to treat real estate like buying a stock in Robinhood.

If mass layoff's happen on extreme scale as your saying, that would be a VERY sizable recession economy.

The string attached is also the business cannot lay off and severely lower the salary of their employees. 

I've seen companies lay off thousands of engineers and programmers at a time, but no one walks away from infrastructure.Amazon announced three more centers in Las Vegas.

Other companies planning mass-layoffs: Intel, DocuSign, Shopify, Robinhood, etc., etc.
