Just got laid off. Relocated my family for the job two years ago. Angry and hurt by how the agency handled it and other layoffs. Basically all the ppl who have been laid off or who have left in the last year have been parents.

I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how disappointed and angry you must be to uproot your family and have that happen. I would be *furious*.

I truly hope you can move to a company that values you as a human and this all leads to something great.

Feel your pain- laid off and pregnant over here. I think the sentiment of “you’ll find something better/there’s going to be a silver lining, etc.” everyone tells you is true, but it only comes after a lot of fretting and work and finding your luck.

Im SO sorry to read this. I can only imagine the stress and frustration. Please remember you are strong and things will sort out. You are resilient. Hoping for you to find something new, something better in a place that values and acknowledges the skills that only being a parent brings.

I got laid off in Aug. Also a parent. I spoke to a couple attorneys about it. It’s super hard right now to have a strong case bc of Covid. :/

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Anyone I’ve ever spoken to who’s gotten laid off found something better and I think the market is good. Feel free to dm me for some contacts. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I don’t know when but it will all turn out ok

How can we help you? What market are you in? If it’s any consolation - I’m seeing a lot of senior strategy roles posted lately. I’m hoping you will bounce right back!

Does anyone have any advice for a recent masters graduate looking to move into product marketing? My professional experience is mostly in brand, social and event marketing, but after completing grad school, I’ve realized that I’d love to get into the product side of things.
