After getting laid off two months ago I realized it is the best thing that happened to me.

Getting fired from job isn’t always a bad thing. It let you reevaluate and gives time to take care of yourself and your thoughts. I have three offers and I’m starting one soon and making double money. I’m not saying because it’s the best thing that happened to me because I have job offered, it’s best that I am thinking about myself, priorities, things I like to do etc. I addition I got to travel and hopefully after few months I am off to start my own business God willing. So anyone who got laid off, take that as a positivily and do the things you thought of doing and couldn’t go, whether be travelling, spending time with family, start a charity or a business. You are not alone, when one door closes, God opens 10 doors for you. Stay positive and have faith. Help is on the way.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
