This is GOLD Jerry, GOLD.
Thank you for this, Vivian. As the founder of a community supporting laid-off professionals, I can’t stress enough how needed this kind of clarity and compassion is right now. That reminder to take a breath and stabilize before jumping into the next thing? Spot on. Layoffs can feel like freefall—but guidance like this helps folks realize they’re not alone, and that there is a path forward. Appreciate you showing up for people in the thick of it. 💚
Thank you for this video. The climate at my recent job has shifted dramatically and I’m trying to be as prepared as I can be. Learning about the severance letter was really helpful! Thanks again! I appreciate your videos.
I am on performance improvement plan
Glad I saw this. I moved to new state but with same job. Googled benefit term and new state only pays 26 weeks vs old state which pays 52 weeks. Fear of being laid off made me start researching. This sucks.
I love Mr. Crab. one of the true pioneering businessmen.
Thank you I just updated my linkedin to what jobs I am looking for!
Excellent tips!
"Really appreciate the effort you put into these videos!"
Wish I'd seen this a few weeks ago when I got the surprise call
Hard to pay the bills, when you couldnt save that security nest egg when you didnt make enough to live month 2 month..........
Don't file for unemployment until you cash your severance check.
From the way you're telling this (as if it's such a huge emotional event, even identifying yourself with your job; WTF? :D), it seems like we're starting to live in a social psychosis of fear of losing our jobs, because the threat affects the majority. That means most people are "mentally sitting on a ticking bomb" (permanent fear, which means cortisol production), and on top of that, there are loans, etc. It's going to be a loooong 20 years...
About that "layoff letter", is that really a good idea? I'm wondering whether it might be more beneficial to quickly tell a hiring manager if he asks that the company restructured and my position was affected and then immediately pivot to what value i would bring to his organization rather than to focus him on the possible causes of my position being cut.
I got laid off yesterday:(
@yourrichbff Vivian, are a fox boo ❤
You guys got LAID 👎🤓😜😀😂
GET A NEW JOB //
I got terminated/discharged with 8 weeks & was only at my job a year & 1 month. It's probably due to me explaining that I was harassed & contemplated suing the company for harassment & intimidation. I definitely wasn't sad losing my job, I was neutral tbh I even had a chance to pay off my car loan but barely started a new job 5 weeks later.
