I got laid off yesterday along with 20 others from my job in the wireless industry. The whole experience has left me in shock. They decided to cut 30% of the team during a single call, and it felt surreal packing up my desk while my colleagues pretended to be busy. Only one team member, who was also laid off, acknowledged me. This isn't my first time facing layoffs; I went through a similar situation back in August 2023, and it took me six months to find a new job. I'm really worried that the job market is even worse now than it was then. I've heard from others that competition is extremely high, and many are still experiencing layoffs. I'm reaching out to my network for referrals, but the feedback I've been getting is discouraging. It seems like everyone is struggling, and the market for my industry has never been this bad. I'm feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next.
