due to huge company restructuring, my whole department was laid off. this was something totally beyond my control and im still processing it. any advice for someone still early in their career?
file for unemployment immediately
Are they offering Severance
Yes
That’s a big relief. Hold tight and hang in. You are not alone . Have you discussed with your colleagues if any other company can absorb you ? It’s not uncommon to have highest let go person find some gig and he/she will tag folks from previous company
Hey there. If u r Eligible for unemployment. File it ASAP. Other than that I can understand it can be a shock. How r u doing? Do u have someone around to talk with? Family/friends?
I’m filing it right now, but given how I literally just started I don’t even have my W2 yet so I don’t know my employer ID number My family doesn’t know and I probably won’t tell them, and I’ve told this to some friends. Thanks for your console
It’s okay if u don’t wanna tell family. If u wanna chat I am here. I don’t have much but can offer a sympathetic ear.
Don’t worry about it. Jobs, by their very nature, are prone to being lost
It's great to be laid off from a struggling company. Go with the flow and keep in touch with as many people as you can. Good luck
sorry to hear, keep your head and stay grinding
Sorry to hear that. Is it samsara?
Take a couple days to just process, then start looking for a new role. There's no shame in a layoff like this. Take advantage of being able to tell everybody you're looking for a new role (post on social media, mention it to friends, etc.). You don't have to be secretive like when you're already working somewhere and considering leaving, which lets you cast the broadest net.
