How to handle being laid off

[Anonymous No.56399889]

I've been at the same company for around 7 years and tomorrow my company is allegedly laying off 2000 people. They've already laid off thousands the past year. I'm definitely not feeling safe or secure.

How do you handle being laid off? I have around 8 months of emergency savings.

Steal as much stuff from the office as you can.

Unemployment the moment you get laid off every 2-3 weeks, indeed search 2 weeks into your last month (2 months)

Yeah, I have more than that in investments but as far as emergency savings go that's what I have liquid.

Just got the official email. Laying off 6% of workforce or around 2000 people today. Hoping I survive.

Put zero effort into your remaining days.
Don’t tell your co-workers or manager ti fuck off. You might need them as references.
Start looking for work immediately and treat job hunting as a full time job or your 8 months will fly by I guarantee it.
Lie about what you were earning before you were made redundant and enjoy that $20-$30k boost in salary when you do find a new job.
Worst case scenario if you’re approaching the end of the 8 months and still haven’t kind a job, just get a part time warehousing job or something to get by.

1. Stop spending as much to make what you have last
2. Apply for unemployment assistance
3. Hopefully you got severance too
4. Looking for a job is now your job, apply to many places every day and keep working on your interviewing skills, resume

The performance review is actually just to check if you're brown enough to remain employed.

What’s the difference between getting fired and being “laid off”?

Fired means you fucked up
Laid off means the business has no further use for you
