Last year saw mass layoffs left and right from companies like GoPuff, Twitter, Google, Meta, Amazon—the list goes on. Even the company I work for had a reduction in workforce, citing reorganization after acquiring PlushCare and 2nd.MD. At that time, I was safe.
This year, we’re already seeing more layoffs from the same companies, including mine.
However, I am not safe.
I, along with several other colleagues of mine, were briefed on the current events and provided a timeline and several documents to review and sign. In order to keep things intact for myself, I am not at liberty to speak on what’s going on or the processes, but what I will say is I’m back on the market, baby.
My master resume has been updated and uploaded to my about page for download.
I’ve been asked if I’m upset.
Short answer? Yes. I’m livid, to be completely honest. Once all is said and done for myself, I will spill the carefully crafted morning tea and provide my personal opinion of it all. But for now, I’m employed on a ticking time bomb and will continue to serve until my number is called to move on to bigger, better things.
I pulled myself back onto LinkedIn and started campaigning for others as well as myself. We’re all in this together.
For anyone else who’s been affected by a layoff event at their company—good luck, you got this!
