I was laid off several weeks ago and I was contacted and asked if I would want to come back soon. I was just out of training when this happened, so it was not a performance issue.
I have been applying all over but nothing has happened for me just yet. What would you do?

If you need the job then take it with the understanding that to businesses you are just a number and to you they should just be a paycheck. It is all transactional. The job market is hot garbage right now as I was recently notified that I would be laid off in 8 weeks… that was 4 weeks ago.

That’s exactly how I feel. These are transactions in the worst way!

Depends on your situation. If you didn’t have any offer on the table i would suggest to go back, but still be looking out for other opportunities, As you have experienced the company’s disloyalty first hand.

Got laid off in tech corp dev making 250-300 all in. Have an offer to join a fairly new family office investment team in PE buyouts but will be a fairly significant cash pay cut vs what I was making in tech corp dev. I’ve always been interested in doing investing. All things being equal, is there better upside to take the fam office to do PE (at a pay cut for now), or go do another corp dev job? 6-7 YOE

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
