I got laid off. And I'm still in disbelief. I guess my takeaway is to always plan for the future and be cognizant of how organizational changes can affect your role. I have to admit I noticed early signs of a shift in strategy/ team composition, but didn't give it much thought. Sharing this to help others possibly avoid being in my situation.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best in the job hunt and hope you’re able to take care of yourself this weekend!

Hey, it happens to the best of us. My one piece of practical advice is get moving on getting your unemployment squared away on Monday. I was laid off once and delayed that because I figured I would find a job quickly and not need it. That was dumb! Having that money coming in will be a big help, so attend to that right away.

When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
