The Laid Off Life

Being laid off sucks, and it sucks hard. For some, it's one of the worst moments of their life. For others it's just one of many bumps in the road. Wherever on that scale you are, remember that being laid off shouldn't be some shameful secret, it's not a reflection of some lack of quality or impact in the work you did. You're awesome, but for our ex-employers we were all just numbers on a spreadsheet.

Being laid off in 2022 + 2023 makes you one of a community of 300k+ folks, awesome people who will go on to build amazing things and solve difficult problems. So move your old employer's swag to the back of the wardrobe, and embrace the Laid Off Life!
