Hi to all the mamas who have been laid off! I’ve been laid off since the start of this whole mess and wondering what other mamas (especially the single ones like me) are doing/thinking/feeling about their next steps? Just looking for some comrades here as I’m feeling a little daunted at the fact that no one is hiring right now. Anyone need any score work/music for their projects? At this point, I’m super happy to do spec work just to keep busy and feel creative still.

I was told I was hard to work with. I had my 4 month old at home with me. Had to stop breastfeeding because I couldn’t keep up. So we will see if I have a job in a couple months. It will come back. Jobs will be back.

Ahh. My kid is about the same age. My spouse and I are both not working but our place isn’t big and it’s just a lot. Naptime is when I exercise and look for jobs and then it’s basically back to entertaining the monster until one of us cracks and puts the tv on. I’m not sure how I would be doing a full time job right now.

Single mom to a 4 year old and lost my last client on April 24th so officially unemployed. It’s been hard bc we have no family nearby. Very worried as well as I don’t get help financially from her dad and he also lives out of state. Have been working with an ex-colleague on some ‘for equity’ start-ups in hopes one of them results in a little down the road. Definitely a tough time and don’t feel guilty about TV time! There are days I don’t allow it and others I just need a break so I let her watch it so I can do things
Reach out to chat anytime if you want to chat with another unemployed single toddler mama 🙂

Single mom to a 9yr old and it has been tough. Grateful that I still have work but with a pretty good pay cut. Hang in there to everyone who has posted so far. Give yourself a break because you are all amazing!! Sweat it out, laugh it out, cry it out, eat it out. Most importantly get-up!! Just rising for another day is a moment to celebrate! Cheers to you!

I’m a single mom to a ten year old, grateful to be working from home, but the distance learning is killer. By the end of the day I’m fried. Too much TV, NetFlix watching, but it’s keeping both of us sane. God help me when school ends...

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?
