I am sorry. It is a bad feeling to have, but things will get better. Just know sometimes things happened were not your fault.

Where one door closes... Probably doesn't feel like it now, but congrats. Polishing up interview skills is the fastest way to raise your pay. And now you're forced to do it. Just when you do get your first new offer, don't stop interviewing

Better times are ahead my friend. Take some time off and take care of yourself. You'll be up and running in no time. There's no less shortage for skilled labor.

Things that your next employer would want to know:
1. Why your current employer thought you were expendable.

Things that you can do to stay on top in your next interview:
1. Learn your next employer's staffing requirements and figure out how best you can help them alleviate their work troubles and make the company look good.

Best to be away from a company that does not see your value.

Good luck! Do update us.. Cheers!

I have chronic health issues and I’m severely depressed. I can’t even get myself to work anymore. If I don’t quit, I’m in serious danger of being fired. I feel that I need to just quit and take time off to get better but feel that it will be a stain on my career. I’m a pretty junior lawyer. Any advice. I just can’t do any work at all and I’m my anxiety and depression is spiraling out of control. I see a therapist I try to cope and it’s not working.

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. 😭

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
