A reminder for those laid off: your job doesn't define you, nor should you let it define your worth. You are MUCH more than your employer & you should act as such. It's a part of you, not all of you.

Take this as an oppty for a fresh start with a financial cushion. Take the skills you've learned and use them to excel in your next job. I've seen too many people let their job define their worth, and it never ends well. Now saddle up and Go get 'em!!

Most indicators say that the underlying economy is solid. And if you read into the jobs reports, the biggest issue employers are facing is a lack of qualified workers, which bodes well for us consultants, who are often over qualified for the jobs we perform

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing?

None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
