Laid off, embaressed and sad

Got impacted in the layoff at Sharechat today after working 4+years here. Got the news an hour back and have not shared this with anyone in my family yet.

I am sad and have to share this news with my fiancee and in-laws today. Tell them why I have to cancel vacation plans and look out for a job instead.

I am into an arranged married and my in-laws are very conservative and don't understand tech work culture, I don't know how they will take the news of a layoff.

I'm anticipating they will be shocked, her asshole brother-in-law will even make fun of me.

To make it worse the fault is mine for believing I won't be laid off when my company was not doing well. I thought it would not happen to me and never looked out in advance.

Fuck 2023. What a shit show Christmas.

I don’t think you should cancel the vacation.

My point is - all hiring team members would be out, so nothing will change in hiring spheres.

But you should face your in-laws and you’ll learn more about them before you tie the knot. Job loss is temporary, getting into a relationship is more longer term.

You’re right. I’m keeping the news to myself for a couple days. Would be a good test of what I can expect from them going ahead

Some time down that lane, while looking back, you will realise how the dots are connecting!

Maybe Sharechat was a shit show to start off with?! With 4+ years you definitely have skills that will be required in organisations.
Yes it wasn't supposed to happen and it happened. I hope your fiancee has got your back !

I think she will be shocked since I have been telling her SC will not lay me off despite how it is performing.

She is HR in a tech startup so should understand. The market is harsh out there for she too

@Eggless_cake feel you bro. I'm in the same situation. Got laidoff from sharechat today. Didn't see this coming, I felt my role was secure considering the aop exercise we finished just last week. This coming from an employee who had 4 rating in the past 2 cycles. Was hoping for a promo case this cycle but the company had other plans

Thanks man, I’m taking the vacay, kinda need it especially after everything that’s gone down here in the last couple years.

The AOP had me confident too, I had a good rep with leadership and my manager as well but still happened.

We should have predicted this circus long back :/ another frustrated SC employee who joined this clown show back in 2019 ☹️

For sure, between the AOP and confidant words from my manager I let my guard down.

Emailed a few recruiters already
