"Before getting laid off, I worked at Booz Allen Hamilton as a digital transformation consultant supporting government contracts. Last year, my team began shrinking as our project got closer to completion."
"I started looking right away, but with shifts in government spending, including efforts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency, our government contracts dried up."
"My job search has taken a toll on my finances. I live with my wife, a long-term roommate, and several cats. My wife and roommate work, which has helped pay the bills."
"When I was laid off, Booz Allen Hamilton gave me a week of severance for every two years I had been with the company, which amounted to about a month of severance."
Aaron Laniewicz, a former digital transformation consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, was laid off after his project ended and internal roles became scarce due to reduced government spending. Despite starting his job search immediately, he was unable to secure a new position and was let go with two weeks' notice. Eight months later, he continues to seek full-time work while managing financial pressures from debt, including a mortgage and student loans, supported by his wife and roommate's income.
