Dying? Don't die. Be born again. Also don't optimise, take birth in a low income family because you can always work your way up!. 
 Sounds just about right :)

If you don't have a job, just get a job. 
the fact how he casually mentioned "JUST get another job" like it's an easy thing.

People who have experienced layoffs, what would you do differently if faced with another layoff now?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'll set the context here.

I was suppose to join a new organisation in the start of the year but it went on a hiring freeze immediately after my notice ended with my then employer.

I ended up accepting the first offer that came my way. It was not of my desired profile but it was better than being jobless.

Now, couple of months into the new job, I realize this is a very toxic place to be. Dormant founders only caring about money, rampant nepotism, no clear path for career growth.

It is becoming difficult to sustain at this place. I've been trying but now I can feel my mental health dwindling because of it. I dread going to office everyday. But again, in this job market, atleast I have a job.

The product role I mentioned is still on pipeline but no one knows when the freeze will end. My hiring manager and HR are pushing for my candidature (according to them) but management isn't allowing them to move ahead with new hires.

Now my question is, should I quit my job and try finding my desire role (which seem like a humongous task) or stay put and wait for a offer to come and then leave my current employer?

I'm torn. I dread going to office everyday. I don't know how much do I have it in me to keep continuing but I'm pushing my limits.

Want some advice from fellow grapeviners here. TIA!

Should I leave my toxic work environment with no backup in a job market like this?

Your company just laid off 30-40% of employees. Why would you wanna work there and not immediately start looking for another job?

Your company just laid off 30-40%

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello folks, recently one of my friend got laid off. The new company is requesting for any doc/email or acknowledgement. However, he only received FnF and nothing. Wanted to understand if any company gives the doc or any acknowledgement that can be treated as a proof? And any suggestions to tackle this?

Layoff docs

I recently laid off, sometime ago. I was privileged enough so didn't really complained about it. But what i realised is:

"Everyone should get laid off once in a lifetime." Reason being you stop being emotional about your job. Some people have a habit to treat job as a the only purpose their life has. Basically job gives them the validation which they never received from anyone.  
Also you realize the hard truth that you are just a number. "Resource" as they aptly call you.

You realize your life has many dimensions than just serving someone. 

Quite an experience i would say, Kuch din to guzariyen lay offs mein!

Layoffs Pros

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm already 7 months in & I'm slowly starting to give up now. The positive affirmations, the "your time will come" crap is just not working anymore.

Financially, I'm a mess. Living in constant stress & anxiety, parents don't believe in me, can't go out & have a drink with my friends since i have deliberately been out of contact with them.

What has helped you go through such situations?

What's the highest duration you've been unemployed?

Laid off

I've been laidoff, searching for a job.
Had stepped out for a walk and I saw my school teacher crossing the road from the other side.
I, being a person who always talks to people, turned my face and sneaked away, not having the confidence to tell someone that I'm unemployed if asked.
Feels bad. 🥲

Layoff severely breaks confidence

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm typing this out as a way of collecting my thoughts and feeling a bit normal to take myself through the day. Context: I have been working with a small b2b IT firm for the last 1.5 years, and resigned yesterday. This was my first job straight out of MBA and it has sucked the soul out of me to say the least. The notice period is 3 months and I am really unsure how will I survive it considering that I'm already completely drained. 

I do not want to list out the reasons of how this place has been toxic for me because I also carry a lot of self doubt if it was really the toxicity of the place or my own incapability to handle the work. I do not have any offer in hand, and haven't started a job search either. Just wanted to put this out there to see if people here in the community have been in a similar situation in their professional lives and how did they figure out the uncertainty, was it a good decision for them in retrospect and if they have any tips for me to deal with this better, with less anxiety.
