Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?

Been w/ my bf 5.5 yrs, but I keep wondering when he's going to "get it together". He's been fired from 2 manager jobs in less than a year, one because he was caught doing coke there (off-duty). Now he's bartending under the table. I have huge concerns that he has serious drug/alcohol problems but it also just boils down to, does he want to improve? He's the kindest, sweetest person and we really love each other. But at some point I need my partner in his mid-30s to have a savings account 🤷‍♀️
