Wanted to address layoffs! A lot of anxiety around this, and I’d be a liar if I said it doesn’t get to me 😅

However, in my weakness I can say to you all that Christ gives us purpose so that work and anything else can glorify Him and add nothing to the perfect worth we have through Christ.

Losing a job may ruin our pride and at the worst make us financially poor. Christ was the literal king over heaven and earth, and He FREELY laid it down on the cross for us to find eternal worth. Love y’all!

Amen and thanks for this post. Here are some great verses to lift your spirits when you feel the anxiety creeping in:

1 Peter 5:6-7
Philippians 4:13

And my favorite: Philippians 4:6-7 — “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every instance, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, submit your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
