The surf will be UP with H Maria spinning up the E coast. Enjoy. This is a good time to be laid off (compared to spring/summer = SLOW) as this is the part of the year that gets busy. Good luck.

Hey all. I just got hired as a Sales manager in a remote setting. As soon as I was done with training, the leadership team cut the entire BD side. They offered me 2 weeks of severance or an individual contributor role. Curious to know if anyone has connections to an open management/enablement role? I've built sales teams from scratch, 10 years of sales exp, and familiar with a lot of tech. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
