I had a great job as an assembler at a company called Genuine Cable Group, but I was laid off back in November of last year along with many others. I've sent my application to many companies over the past six months and despite getting a couple of job interviews, I was unable to get a job. Now I am down to my last 2 weeks of unemployment and I don't know what to do.

I am so sorry to hear this. I was just let go from this company last week.

Thanks. Aw, I'm sorry, I'm surprised there's anyone left there. What area did you work in?

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

With a recession around the corner - two questions:

There were substantial layoffs at firm and management has denied, saying they were performance related (mostly bullshit). They have not ruled out [further] layoffs in the future.

I don’t want to lose my job, and it would absolutely suck. But I almost feel numb and hard to even get too worked up over the prospect given how emotionally exhausting this year has been. Maybe bcz I feel somewhat safe, but I feel like if it happens, it does, and I’ll find a way to recover/move on.
