take a few days to get your head straight then here is your new job:
Finding a job
Get up every morning and follow your morning routine- get ready for work , work out etc
Then start job hunting- 5 days a week , 8 hours a day
If you make in the 6 figure range- contact a headhunter ASAP and they will have you get your resume in order_ AI or a good resume writer is your best shot. If you try to do it your self if will look different than the way someone who will select you for an interview will see it.
Call contacts, network, network network. 80% of jobs never get advertised and the best jobs certainly do not.
You will find a job very quickly if you work hard at it.
Remember you still have a job-- it is looking for your next position
Most people in this day and age will get released once or more in their career-- its just what it is and its not personal.
Let us know your skill set and folks on this board may surprise you.
If you need money asap Deliver pizzas- I know a guy making near $30 hour delivering them- not the greatest but you can go to work tomorrow

Open up a Learing Center and make millions!
Sorry to hear. Treat job search as an 8 hr a day job. But take a week off and party.

So you got laid off on the same day you made that questionable post about your buddy getting his cash stolen by the Atlanta water boys?

Godspeed OP
I know this is tough. Happened to me.
I hope you get lucky quickly on your new search

quote:Sorry dude, work in the same field and it’s brutal out there. Was great back in the day when this field became a thing 10 years ago, but all these kids these days have saturated the market. I just feel sorry for them.
And today’s my birthday. Cruel irony. I worked as a reporting & analytics manager for a private company that keeps its financials pretty secret. Apparently our revenue was way down YOY while our department spend was up. They decided to cut my position along with a few others. The market sucks, so I might be on the block for a minute. Could use some words of encouragement from you goofy baws.
It’s not so bad for us veterans in the field to find something else, so sure something will pop up.

None of this shite matters.
You're better off.
If it's a thing about providing for your kid, I promise you it is far far more invaluable for you to be able to shrug off adversity that makes others crumble than it is to provide a stable living.
And those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
It's going to be okay.

First, sorry to hear that. You’re going to be OK.
Second, you should call your creditors to explore what your options are. Sometimes they will cut you some slack if something out of your control happens, like job loss. Don’t just skip payments on anything without talking to them first.
Then, take a break. Give yourself two weeks or so to just rest and process.
After that, get back up. Get your network going. Something will come your way. It not going to be the end of the world.

Hope you don't have family relying on your income.
Spend a couple hours at the gym each day when you're not applying for jobs.

Enjoy some of time. Then if you cant find something else or are looking to try something new, then look into being a substitute teacher at schools of your choice when openings pop up, and if you find out that you like that, then consider being a full time teacher.

I’m sorry to hear that you were laid off. You should be eligible for unemployment and others benefits. Best of luck in finding your next position.

I disagree with spending 40 hours a week job searching. Spend 2 hours a day at most.
Posted on 7/24/26 at 12:11 am to VolsOut4Harambe
Hopefully you aren’t as old as me. I’ve struggled to find work at 60. No one wants to hire someone they think will only work a few years.
Good luck moving forward.

It was completely out of left field. I was only 10 months into my tenure, and had no indication my performance was bad or that the company was looking to cut.
Performance sometimes is an issue, but the way most of these companies operate they are just swinging the axe at a particular department to save some revenue. Just keep your options open. Jobs sometimes came from places that I didn't even consider before.
