"How am I going to feed my family? How am I going to pay my mortgage?"
""You'll land something soon. Keep going!", echoes the thoughts and well-wishes of those who didn't get laid off."
"The biggest mistake most people make after getting laid off is hoping you'll get a job again."
Massive layoffs have left many professionals without steady income and stretched job searches from months into years. Relying on returning to similar employment often fails because many companies recycle the same talent pools and hiring demand is constrained. Well-intentioned encouragement can overlook urgent financial realities and the need for practical action. A more resilient response treats a layoff as a pivot: preserve runway, learn marketing and productization, offer freelance or consulting services, build an audience and rentable assets, diversify income streams, and pursue small business or product ideas to regain control over income and career direction.
