It's been a month since I was laid off. The first few weeks, I was too busy updating my resume and looking for new jobs to apply for to really feel the emotional impact of it all. But now the resume's looks good, and the number of jobs out there in my field have dried up. Especially the remote ones, which are kind of necessary for me, since there are exceptionally few businesses in my city that deal with my field.
Oh that sucks. And trying to find a job right now is just a nightmare to begin with.
Oh yeah, it's real bad out there right now. RTO mandates and a tech sector that's shedding workers like dandruff is making things feel really scary. Plus, I get to watch the half of the company that didn't get laid off all announce their promotions on LinkedIn, because that's also where the small handful of jobs that I qualify for are posted.
There's something particularly ghoulish about companies laying off swathes of workers and then announcing matching promotions like a week later. Corporate America is something else.
