Yup happened to me

It can happen easily if your employer has unstable clients. Don't feel like you are unusual, it is very common in technology.

Happened to me.. Oct 2022 and Oct 2023

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.

Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
