Emily Schlorf, after graduating in 2021, faced two job losses despite her initial hopes for corporate stability. Her first position as a proofreader at Marriott Vacations Worldwide led to a promotion, granting her financial independence and fulfillment in her work. However, just eight months later, Schlorf was laid off, revealing the precarious nature of corporate jobs. Now, she embraces a more flexible work life with part-time roles and personal projects, illustrating a shift from seeking traditional corporate security to prioritizing adaptability and creativity in her career path.
I sought out a corporate job because I wanted the same stability. Instead, I've lost two jobs in a row.
I was laid off in November 2023. The foundation of the life I had built for myself collapsed when the head of the department laid me off.
I worked extra hours and took on responsibilities above my pay grade, determined to prove I was an asset.
Now, I embrace flexibility with part-time roles and focus on personal projects.
