I was recently laid off from my position at Citi while I was on vacation. I received a phone call that completely blindsided me. It was a tough moment, and I found myself reflecting on my identity and what this change means for me. I know that I need to focus on finding a new job to pay my bills, but it’s hard not to feel a sense of loss. The way it happened felt very impersonal and left me feeling unsettled. I'm trying to navigate this transition and figure out my next steps.
