I just received the dreaded call informing me that my position has been eliminated, marking the second time this year that I've faced a layoff. My first layoff was back in April, and before that, I had experienced similar situations in 2019 and 2017. It's disheartening to think that despite my competence, a new CEO decided to offshore my role, leaving me feeling like I don't deserve to work or support myself. As I sit here reflecting on this, I can't help but feel like I've disappointed my family once again. My husband now has to shoulder the financial burden while I try to navigate the last month of my contract and search for another job. It's incredibly frustrating to receive compliments about my work just moments before being told my position is being cut. It makes all those accolades feel meaningless when no one is willing to stand up for me. I teared up during the call, feeling a mix of gratitude and sadness. I know I shouldn't feel pathetic, but it's hard not to when everything seems to be falling apart. I wish companies would recognize the impact of their decisions on our lives. I’m determined to find something new, but right now, it feels overwhelming. I appreciate the support from others who understand what I'm going through. It's a tough situation, but I hope that better opportunities are on the horizon.
