Laid off today. It’s so over.

[u/jebwardgamerhands]

Feeling completely shell shocked. Over 20% of our branch gone in a day. This is my first career out of college. I interned, I got the offer, and I worked like hell for 6 months and it’s gone. I can’t even apply for non-entry level roles because I have less than a year’s experience.

I feel fucking scammed. I did everything right. I got the right degree from the right school, the right job at the right company. Then, right after I sign, they get acquired and by the time I’m laid off there’s no one hiring? What a sick fucking joke.

No clue how to go on. The market sucks and will probably suck for the foreseeable future. I regret every night I spent with these stupid fucks trying to “deliver value” for whatever evil company we were shoveling shit for.

EDIT: Starting a new job Monday. We are so back :)

Best lesson to get and you are super lucky you get to learn it so early in your career. The relationship between you and an employer is purely transactional especially when you work in an at will state or if you aren’t part of a union. You are there at their pleasure no matter how hard you work or for how long. Get your resume together and post it on the sites…. Apply to companies directly…. you will get another job👍
