Laid Off Before It Was Cool

The first blow is the shock. Not the gentle kind, but the kind that steals the air from your lungs. You’re first, first to fall, first to be told so there’s no reference point. No one ahead of you to say, this hurts, but it passes. No map to follow, no example to copy. Just you, standing alone, trying to understand how everything changed in a single conversation. There’s embarrassment too, a quiet, creeping shame that settles in despite the evidence of your performance. Logic tells you this isn’t about capability, but emotion whispers otherwise: you weren’t good enough.

Then comes the silence. HR goes quiet, so quiet it rings in your ears. Colleagues might offer a few kind words, if they’re allowed to, if they dare but the hardest truth is how many don’t. Not a LinkedIn message. Not a text. Not even a line in response to your goodbye email, assuming you were granted the dignity of sending one before your access disappeared. You sit there, staring into nothing, suspended between disbelief and reality. Did this really just happen? Hopelessness seeps in. You replay conversations, scan the past for signs, circle the same question again and again: why me?

And then something else surfaces. Rage. Sudden, blinding rage. At the decision. At the decision makers who you know deserved this outcome far more than you ever did. But rage has nowhere to go. It burns hot, then fades, leaving you with the truth you can’t avoid: this is real, and now you must act. Job hunting can no longer be passive or polite, it has to be treated with the urgency of a serious diagnosis. Survival mode. Strategy. Momentum.

This is the con of being first. But it’s not the whole story. Because for those who were first, there is something else too, something only visible once the dust settles. There is light at the end of the tunnel. And eventually, you’ll realise you didn’t just survive the fall. You were already walking toward something better.


I left Cigna in 2017. It was the right move.

You are nothing more to any company than a line on a spreadsheet. They look at the cost of keeping you as an employee versus the cost of dumping you. A company accountant ran an algorythm on a speadsheet and you are choosen. You may have has a less than stellar review 5 years ago aka your boss is toxic. Perhaps your department is a cost center that needs to be trimmed to improve the balance sheet, or you make over the median salary for someone in your band. They often outsource to replace IT departments and marketing/sales. They could cut staff as a way to hide losses, without admitting it to the street. What ever the cause you are gone. Do the stages of grief, own it, but keep moving.

When Unilever laid me off 20 years ago, I had small children, alimony, and lots of bills. I drank th corporate Kool-Aid back then. I had to su-k it up and make finding a job my job. I worked retail while I looked, I did odd freelance jobs to keep my skills up. I did take another job at a lower salary 2 years later at another insurance company, then went to Cigna. The thing was, I survived, and when I felt the enviornment at Cigna had nothing left to offer me after 5 years, I put out my resume and moved on. I fired Cigna. I realized my job doesn't define me. I depend on me, not a company. It was a tough journey that humbled me. I survived and then I thrived.


Five months without a job

Nobody talks about how job hunting starts to eat at you after a while. You send out applications and hear nothing, and eventually you start questioning your own abilities. I used to know what I brought to a team. Now I'm not so sure. How do you hold onto your sense of self when the market keeps rejecting you?


Waiting for the upside

It’s been a few weeks since I was laid off, and nothing promising has landed yet. I keep hearing stories about how this is supposed to turn into a fresh start, but right now it’s just applications and silence. Severance buys some time, not peace of mind. I’m trying to believe the positive turn comes later, even if it’s hard to see from here.


Prepare for the worst

Bankruptcy is almost inevitable at this point. I can’t believe how quickly things turned so sour. I hate to say it, but QVC and, by extension, HSN, seem headed down the same path as Blockbuster and other companies that served their purpose but became outdated and faded out. It’s probably time to start looking for a new job.


Srini and the senior leadership team….

Lied to everyone last December. They sat on that stage and told us layoffs would end after Q1.

NOT TRUE!

Layoffs will continue throughout the year. Not at the same level as we are experiencing now but every quarter will be tightened and tweaked. More of us gone in a corporate version of The Hunger Games.

Workload will increase, timelines won’t change, but fewer people doing the work.

Avg job search is about 9 months right now. Be proactive and start your search, get ahead of the curve.

It’s only a matter of time before we are all impacted.


Raise your hand if you've looking

Curious how many are already looking elsewhere. It is so miserable here. Thank you, new leadership team. You can't even last a year at your previous places of employment. Come to Terrordata and in record time you will either fire really good people or successfully run off the rest. Cheers to nothing.


Job market is not that bad

I know people are panicking right about now, but I've been preparing for this for a few months and submitting applications. I got 3-4 interviews per month and I got two offers in that time. Granted, the pay wasn't high enough to get me to say yes, but if I was jobless at the time, it would have been an easy yes. So there are jobs out there, just be persistent.


30000 is OverHype. Here is the Rough estimate. Not sure on Timeframe

Estimate is around 8500 in count. (Max 12000 if more layoffs in India)

USA - 2,800 people to 3200
India - 4200 - 6500 (Expecting more cuts)
Europe - 1000 to 1500 max

More will be in Software dev and support : 5000+ counts expected (Middleware, DB, ...)
OCI will be saved with minimal layoffs <1000

Seems the 30000 layoff is not immediate and it will be over long term. Seems the estimate was done by the firm for long-term analysis and not for this year and the estimate was purely based on funding to the future commitments.

Basically Senior Management with mostly India team with non-revenue workloads beware . You will be major targets. !00% you can start searching new jobs.


New Jersey Layoffs Surge, Reaching Recession-Era Totals

New Jersey experienced a significant increase in job cuts during January. Employers announced 1,980 layoffs, a 544 percent rise from January 2025. This surge mirrors national trends not seen since the Great Recession. Amazon accounted for 871 of New Jersey's January cuts. Experts indicate employers are less optimistic about the 2026 outlook.

Where are people applying and getting interviews for jobs outside of this company?

I have applied to 200+ jobs in the past 1-2 months and I’ve heard nothing back, not even rejections. Where are people applying for jobs and actually hearing back for interview requests? I am a Business Analyst with a data skillset.


More Layoffs Today, I'm Heartbroken

More people got cut today, despite a big wave happening this past Thursday. If you even get an itch that something is off (more work, less work, more micromanaging, time off not being approved or acknowledged), it could be a sign. Stay vigilant, keep having conversations with your peers and network, and start looking elsewhere before it's too late. There will probably be more just based on the stock.


Working at XOM vs bp

I currently work at bp and was approached by a recruiter with XOM. Would that be a good move right now? I’m not happy with bp, for obvious reasons - poor strategy, poor company performance, poor leadership, limited career growth opportunity, etc. From my perspective ExxonMobil looks leaps and bounds better, but I would love to hear thoughts from y’all.


Talking about leaving versus actually leaving

I keep seeing people say they’re ready to walk, and I don’t get how that’s supposed to work right now. Jobs aren’t exactly everywhere, and quitting without something lined up sounds risky. I’ve picked up a whole new set of skills and still can’t find a place to apply them. A lot of the talk about leaving comes across as venting, not something most people can actually pull off.


Made up job and title

I am several months into a new role that I knew from day 1 was not a real job. I was due for a move and they clearly didn’t want to waste one of the few visible jobs on me so this is what I was given. Anyone been in a similar situation? Feels inevitable that my ranking and potential will be dropping. Anything I can do about it? Advice? I am just planning to find a new job in my own outside of EM. Just the push I needed as I am in my early 40ies and quickly approaching the age where moves become more difficult due to age discrimination.


Feb 6 - Last day at Centene

Ride lasted for 10 yrs.
One thing is clear - you have to be your own boss, companies don't care(rightly so) about you, only the bottom line.
Enhance your skills, take up part time gig(let this be a wake up call)

Am back on unemployment line for 12 weeks(earlier was 36 weeks - Thanks Rick Scott for sc--wing that) and last week 60K workers were laid off across the US so will be joining them in searching for next job.
