I kept it from my family for a while too, thinking I was sparing them stress, but honestly, when it eventually came out, it was almost a relief. People might have their opinions, but more often than not, they care about you, not your job title. I’ve learned to just be honest in a way that feels comfortable. It takes the pressure off pretending everything’s fine.
Man, I feel this deep. I’ve been unemployed for a few months too, and those moments hit harder than you expect. Kids are beautifully unfiltered .. they don’t mean any harm, but it stings when it comes out like that, especially when you’re already carrying the weight of it internally. Laugh it off and move on.
I’m a lawyer who was laid off. Took me 8 months to land on my feet again. My story was a bit different… I was told I’d be making partner at my firm, which is news I shared with my immediate family out of excitement. Two week later, I was laid off. So I had to tell my family “just kidding. It’s not happening.” I guess I was forced to share the bad news with them, but I would have anyway because I rely on them for emotional support. You will land on your feet again. But only share the news with immediate family members who add value to your life. No need to tell everyone.
My family's nosy so they always ask about work and stuff lol. I was open with them though and with all the lay offs and stuff happening nationwide they were understanding and even offered to keep an eye out for open positions. It is embarrassing at first, but it's not like you got fired because you did something bad! Family will understand.
Not very close with many family members so it was never in front of my mind to tell them anything about it. However, I immediately told my friends, those are the people that really get me through in these situations. It’s up to you what is best in those situations, going through a layoff is no picnic.
That’s kids for you. No filter which is what makes them adorable. I got laid off and shared it with a few family members but not with a lot and then realized I was holding myself back because it was a company decision not my performance so I shared with everyone because this chapter of my life while important isn’t going to define me.
