Well me, along with 17 of my colleagues across my dept (including my whole team!) got laid off yesterday due to budget cuts in a most brutal fashion. I’m trying not to be bitter about it. If anyone sees any mid-career fundraising or communications jobs around HRM or remote please let me know ❤️

Thanks. It happened the end of June, a comment today boosted the skeet back up into people’s timelines. I’m not ok, I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and loss of confidence. But I will be ok, eventually ❤️

Omg I didn’t even realize that was from a month ago! Layoffs seem to be happening everywhere, so hard to keep straight who and where. Everything just feels so awful most of the time

Oh shit, that sucks. Also think a tiny bit bitter would be acceptable.

I think you are allowed to be bitter. You need time to absorb it. I’m so sorry.

I'm so sorry. There have been quite a few jobs posted on LinkedIn lately, so there must be lots of movement in the industry right now.

Oh this sucks. I’m sorry. I think you’re justified to be bitter for a bit. Though it does ruin your day to be bitter.

That's a huge layoff. You can be bitter but don't take anything personal. I know the feeling all too well. Take care of your thoughts
