It's hard enough to be unemployed, and then you have your debilitating, berating family to make it harder. I sadly still live with my immigrant parents and they've been so rude to me since I got fired. They're making everything I do and say about how I lost my job. I've been feeling so horrible and need a way to block them out and not get affected by their comments. Any help is big!

I don’t have advice but also have an immigrant parent who is super out of touch and makes me feel super awful about my lay off, so sending some love and can relate. Everyday calling me asking “did you get a job yet?” “ what about this career (examples: teacher, social worker, ie job completely unrelated and would require me to go back to school which I can’t afford simply can’t do right now). And “oh well this guy got laid off and he’s older than you so it’s worse for him”. They simply do not understand what it’s like and how difficult it is.

Sounds soooo familiar

Clearly your parents have no idea what it's like to get a job now. They're probably stuck in their ways and not realising how bad the market is now. Just use their comments as fuel to work hard enough so you don't have to live with them. And filter the rest out. Good luck!

I am sorry. I know it’s hard when you’re employed, but getting out of these demoralizing environment will help you feel better and more confident—which help you land a job.

Try to limit contact with them right now if you continue to live with them. Spend time outside the home at coffee shops, etc, while you apply for jobs.

I know it’s hard when you’re *unemployed*

Hi, I’m currently looking for a job as I was laid off during COVID. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

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. 😭

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time? Prod Management seems like it would be more insulated from layoff pressure (so long as your P&L is in the black) though even that could come under budgetary pressure.

What would be an example of 'layoff-proof' exit opp?
