Remember, EM POC only!

Just brewed up the coffee, feeling like a doomer, but at least I'm about to be a caffeinated one.

How are all my fellow EM POC comrades doing?

    Just got laid off from MEGACORP on Monday. They did a big "restructure" so now I'm unemployed. As my homie comically said I have become the stereotypical "unemployed black man" archetype THE MAN fears.

      Ah yes, the "restructure". One of the earliest lessons I learned when I started working was that anytime corp talked about re-anything it probably means layoffs are coming soon. My first manager, who was pretty cool, was offered a lower position with less pay or severance. He went with the severance package and never looked back.

        No plans yet, still getting my bearing. Never been laid off before. Right now I’m just focusing on getting my savings and stuff in order and making sure I have some runway. Other than that, find a new job of course
