Take Control
Look--it's happened to THOUSANDS of us. It's not fun. It's not "a new adventure." It just straight up and down stinks. When I was first laid off, I spent 2 days just spinning out. There were so many unknowns and so many things I had to account for... — read more

Numbness
I'm genuinely shocked at how fine I am with being laid off. There's no fear, no bitterness, no worry. Nothing. It's as if the weight of it all just didn't land. Is there such a thing as layoff-related numbness? How long does it usually last? This is... — read more

I'm still not convinced this is over
Maybe once tomorrow is behind us, I’ll feel differently, but as of now, I don’t trust anyone when it comes to layoffs, no matter what they say.
We won't feel a full impact of this for a few weeks
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like most people who were laid off were given two weeks before their final day. This means we won’t feel the full brunt of these cuts for another few weeks. And by “full brunt,” I’m referring to increased... — read more

What have you heard? Will we be wiped totally? Seems like they are doing it slowly but steadily. Those who have heard anything, please share.
Well, last week was exhausting
I’m one of the people who was laid off. It’s a blow, and I’m scared for my future—wondering how, or even if, I’ll be able to help support my family. But at the same time, I feel genuinely liberated. Towards the end, I hated my job. I started... — read more
