Recently lot of old acquaintances from salesforce ecosystem reached out as they were laid off from their job. I have been very tensed after that. How does someone prepare for a thing like that?

That's tough. I could see how it would make you feel pretty anxious. It's really not easy to prepare for something like that other than to have your resume updated and to keep your eyes open for potential job opportunities.

Knowing that it's a possibility helps you mentally prepare because it's not like discovering that something happened to you when you didn't even know it was on the table. However, making sure that you have some money saved and your resume updated in case you need it... those are some tangible ways to prepare, just in case. Hopefully, you don't have to worry about it!

I've been asking myself the same thing. I think I might run away to a new country if I got laid off, especially if it happened without warning.

I think you have to be somewhere in the middle. Be hopeful that it doesn't happen to you, but you have to be mentally prepared as well that you could be next. I guess having backup plans will ease some of your worries.

If you’re concerned, start signing up for job notifications on LinkedIn in your field and update your resume and cover letter (template). That way, you can gauge the market and have something ready if an unfortunate layoff happens.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
