New-Scallion1393's journey

I was laid off today at 23 years old, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. My colleagues and I were just starting our day when I noticed a strange buzz among the managers and HR. It felt off, and soon enough, a meeting was called. The global head of the company came in and announced a mass layoff, telling us we had just 30 minutes to pack up and leave. It was a shock to everyone, including the leadership, as a major client unexpectedly pulled out of the project. In those half an hour, nearly 100 of us were suddenly out on the street—some were crying, others were just in disbelief. I’m still trying to process what just happened. I haven't even told my family yet; I dread going back to them and admitting I’m unemployed again. It feels like a tough road ahead.
