A Google manager who got laid off liked working with his colleagues so much he's trying to set up a new company with 6 of them

"I was pretty bummed out for about five minutes, but then I said, 'well I still have a family to take care of, I learned a lot, and I think I'm ready to do my own thing,'" Kirk said.

Given how much Kirk enjoyed working with his team, he asked those on the group chat who would want to help form a startup with him. Kirk said he'd take the position of a general managing partner."First off, the goal is to get some projects in so we can start paying our bills," he said.He's given himself and his colleagues until the end of March, when the 60-day layoff notification period ends, to establish a solid foundation for the company. This means he has just six weeks left to land projects.

Kirk's broad plans for the company include helping other startups grow and get funding, carrying out engineering projects for businesses that don't have the right experience, and offering design and research tools for other companies' apps and websites.
