Id just given a presentation beginning of August in front of high up people at the company to help with our company rating. They implemented my idea and next thing I know is Im being told 2 weeks later me and others were part of a reduction in force October would be our departure. This was such a slap in the face. It's crushed my confidence and Im grieving for job loss. Having to find another job Im terrified. Thankfully I did get a nice severance to help. Just sad and angry to be honest.

Its normal to be angry and its normal now to be discarded. So many people see things as objects not as human.

Job loss is never easy and taking it personally prolongs your recovery. Let go of the anger, release yourself from the outcome, focus on rebuilding your career, and use your most recent win (idea implementation) as an achievement highlight to wow your next employer.

like

Think out of the box. Maybe all the high up people don’t know you are being cut. If you think you impressed any of them, just reach out saying how much you’d love the job and would like to continue working and see through your ideas being implemented. What’s the worst could happen? You are already let go. 🤷
