If you’re laid off, start your own company!

I’m sorry to hear about all the layoffs people are experiencing. My advice is that because your experience is valuable, especially you folks who have been working here for 10, 20, 30 years, you should either A) Start your own company (for behavioral health, etc) or B) Do consulting on your own terms.

It’s obvious people with incredible resumes are being let go. It’s time we take our careers back and invest into something we’re truly passionate about.

Wishing you all the best!

Nazarro's Promised Reward Realized

Fourteen months ago, Frank Nazarro said if you were still here in a year, there would be some sort of grand reward.

What is this grand reward comprised of?

  • Lived through a work nightmare for well over a year

  • Congratulations for making Fannie's 10K mention Freddie as a "risk factor"

  • The promise that gen AI will continue to replace non-Indians

  • Indians only hiring other Indians. Those of european descent get to figure out how to apply for unemployment. Our children we struggled to put through college left to flip burgers, because Indians only hire other Indians

  • A salary that is so far behind the REAL inflation (not the government adjusted bogus inflation), that some of us have begun juggling bills so we can still afford to put something in the basket at the grocery store

  • THESE* are your grand rewards for getting Freddie Mac through the past year.

THANKS TRAITOR PULTE

Difficult to refinance one's home when one has been laid off. Freddie doesn't care, all the contractor backfills are 100% Indian. So Freddie saves money by laying off Americans. The contractors can be converted to full time in the future.

So many teams are 100% Indian. No remaining teams are 100% any race, but they still include a continually growing number of Indians.

Now, stand up, and give yourself a round of applause! Freddie Mac has put one over on the USA, and in the process, is helping to replace the working population of our Nation.

The shoe is on the other foot now

The Grayson mill energy Houston office that was shut down, all those people that were let go are probably laughing now that the shared services cuts are going to hit OKC. If you aren’t where the center of power is, you are expendable and it’s only a matter of time. Can’t manage data, can’t support your customers, can’t IT hundreds of miles away :)

Ortho layoffs

Due to restructuring in Ortho, aka giving all the jobs over seas to Costa Rica, all the TX design team, clinical advisors, DC and FMQC, US based employees, are being laid off effective in March. Hard to say official numbers but it's upwards of 40 people. Many were here since clarity alligners started nearly 10 years ago. Pretty sc-mmy way to save a few bucks the day after they announced 1 Billion dollars for stock buy back.

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.
