If you were to be fired or laid off today, how do you think you’d feel at first? Would it be fear about finances, anger, or maybe just sadness? Personally, I think my initial reaction would be a mix of shock and uncertainty, though I’m sure that could change as time goes on.

It'd be a mix of all of those, but I think anger would be #1 for me. I've been here for five years and have poured so much energy in my work. To be let go just like that after all of it would feel like such a slap in the face.

That makes a lot of sense, after five years of commitment, feeling anger in that situation would be completely valid!

Thrilled to leave! I’d travel for a bit and pick up some side jobs till I figure out what’s left. I got 3 weeks at most that I can last here before I loose it

Totally fair—travel and a reset sound like the perfect move. I'm curious what kind of side jobs are you thinking about?

Happy and relieved. I can figure out my next steps in life and through myself wholeheartedly into it.

Absolutely there will be fear! There are bills to pay after all.

Vacation time! I have been absolutely slammed busy all month. It would be a great reason to have some time off! Now, how long it takes me to get a job after that, might be an issue. I’d just take whatever I could get if it was that hard for me to get another job in this business.

A well-deserved break sounds perfect after such a hectic month. Agreed that the current environment could make finding the next job a bit challenging.
