Did anyone here get laid off during the long weekend? I did, and congratulations to my team for coming up with the great idea that the few days off would console me. Meanwhile, in reality, I had the worst Memorial Day weekend of my life. I spent the whole weekend wallowing in my pain and being sad that I couldn't be in the right headspace when I took my kids out to the tulip farm like I'd promised them.

Wow, that's rough. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but hey, you got this. You'll find something soon. Make sure you're using your time off to dust off the old contacts list and see which one could really help you get back on track.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's a lot, especially if unexpected. I hope you're able to spend time this week getting into a good headspace so you can focus on yourself and what's next.

WOW. I am so sorry to hear that, they really did you dirty because nobody can enjoy a holiday weekend when they have just been laid off. I was laid off during Covid so I know how tough that can be. Hang in there.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:
