I was laid off this morning for the second time after just 9 months at my new job in marketing. I'm feeling really down about it. After losing my first job at a marketing agency back in July 2025, I was thrilled to land a new position at another agency in October 2025, where I was doing similar work but with a better salary. The team was amazing, and I felt like I was making great contributions, especially after receiving positive feedback in my recent performance review. However, today at 9:30 AM, I was unexpectedly pulled into a meeting with HR and my two direct bosses. In just four minutes, I was informed that I was laid off, with no clear explanation given. I feel completely blindsided and overwhelmed with sadness and fear. I think I might be the only one laid off, which makes it even harder to process. The job market seems really tough right now, and I'm scared about having to search for a new job again so soon. I have a supportive network of family and friends, but right now, I just want to take a break and focus on my hobbies for the rest of the day. I know I need to get back out there eventually, but it's hard to shake off this feeling of uncertainty. Thanks for reading.
