I've been feeling too bitter too often at work. My time is up. I want to take the summer off, but can't really afford to quit & wait until Sept. Layoffs scheduled for July. What would you do?

Don't quit. Update your resume, start looking, and if you get laid off collect the unemployment and keep searching

Unless you can afford then just say fuck it and quit.

Depends how much you have saved and how good your book is. I took a year off to travel and was able to freelance remotely. Was fucking awesome. No regrets.

If you want to get out bad enough you'll figure out a way to make it work. I took a leap of faith without a huge savings and the freelance work is steadily coming in because I have solid relationships that I built over the years. It also propelled me to launch my side business.

How do you not take a layoff due to RIF (involuntary reduction) personally? I was told it is not personal. All full time positions except 1 were let go. Contractors on the team still exist and so does the team. I can’t help but wonder whether performance was a factor and it makes me really sad even after a few months! Any examples of how laying off full time employees over contractors helps with cost cutting? Thanks!

If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

Looking for some insight. I recently got laid off from a growing start up. I loved the culture, the product, & they actually promote their people. I’ve been an BDR for a year at my previous company & then only a month at this one. My goal is to become an AE but now I’m wondering if that’s what I want. Ive been in tech in the Bay Area for 2+ years with previous experience in data management. Thinking of rebranding & getting into partner marketing or anything to get me to 6 figures. Thoughts?
