Got laid off. Have savings to hold me until I find a new position but mostly I'm just embarrassed. Has anyone ever gotten laid off and not told their friends/partner about it? I just don't want people in my circle to know I failed basically.

Getting laid off is not failure. It will happen to most people at some point in their career. You need your friends and support system to help you job search. Most jobs come from networking. Do not deny yourself that because of embarrassment. Good Luck

This is solid advice. I'd be stupid to miss out on a new opportunity to save face. Just hate giving people "bad news" especially about my own life.

Always told partner and sometimes told friends and family.

I was unemployed back in 2008-2009 for nine months. I told everyone and anyone who would listen to me and my story. You are not a failure. This is growth and no one will think any less of you. Vulnerability is tough - Take this time and lean into it, it will make you a better leader and person. Good luck to you on your journey!

Hi fishes,
I'm currently attending lot of interviews, some interviewers are courteous, introduced them, their work experience, what they do and then ask me to introduce myself. While there are interviewers who don't even tell their name or anything, just join the interview and start asking questions, some interviewers don't even apologize if they join late.
One thing I noted is, these guys are generally not managers or HR, someone who have 1 or 2 years more experience than me.
Any experiences?

Hi all. Today is one of those days where I am just really tired of proving myself. I'm a woman POC and the only brown person at my small firm.

Days like this really make me want to stop being a lawyer. I don't think I will ever find a firm where I am not treated this way.
