Well this sucks. I got laid off. Anyone else here been affected by tech or finance layoffs?! A couple of weeks ago, my biggest fear was that they were going to force me back into the office, because with all the layoffs, employees don't really have leverage to request remote work anymore, but now I've just been straight up canned so jokes on me I guess. 😅

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Been applying everywhere (along with thousands of other candidates, I'm sure). I'd suggest joining the referrals bowl to see if you can find any leads there. Hopefully we'll both be in a better position soon. Good luck!

I think it's going to be happening a lot more...I think my team's on the chopping block tbh, so it's going to get dicey. Let's see though...

I'm sorry to hear this. I fear I may be getting laid off this week, so keep your head up take some time for yourself and start applying but take care of yourself too <3

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear.

It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
