  1. 2

    I recently received notice of my layoff from my role at a nonprofit organization, and I have to continue working until November. I had a feeling this was coming, but it still hit hard. While I don’t need to be in the office every day, I will have to go in occasionally, and honestly, it's been really tough. Every time I step into the office, I feel overwhelmed and want to cry. I’ve been feeling quite depressed about the situation and the job market, and I find myself crying at home too, especially since I can do that in the comfort of my own space. My boss's comment during the layoff notice didn’t help either; she mentioned that at least my cat and I wouldn’t be homeless since I rent from family. I think she meant well, but it made me feel worse. I'm trying to remain professional and leave on a good note, but I'm struggling with the emotional toll of these office days. I’m actively searching for a new job and will receive unemployment benefits if I can’t secure something quickly. I’m not necessarily looking for advice on the job search itself, but I would appreciate any tips on coping with the in-office work during this difficult time. I just want to make it through this period without losing my composure.

    I received notice today that I will be laid off in mid-November. I had a feeling this was coming, so I've already started applying for new positions, but I'm feeling anxious about my chances of finding something suitable. I've been trying to pivot into different fields and leverage other skills I have, but it's tough. I'm curious how long it typically takes others to secure a new job after a layoff. I'm also looking for some encouragement during this uncertain time.
