"It is a really tough time to be mentoring, with massive layoffs and tens of thousands of professionals losing their rice bowls every other fortnight. "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. Defeated but trudging along, those laid-off set out to have 6-month plans to get employment."
"Defeated but trudging along, those laid-off set out to have 6-month plans to get employment. 6-months became a year, and before long, a year nearly becomes two. The biggest mistake most people make after getting laid off is hoping you'll get a job again. The market is not going to recover Something I've noticed within hiring networks in the industry is that companies are basically cycling through their talent networks on cues."
Massive layoffs are forcing tens of thousands of professionals into sudden unemployment and financial anxiety. Well-meaning reassurances push laid-off workers into short job-search plans that routinely extend from months into years. Many people assume they will regain similar employment, but hiring networks often recycle the same talent profiles and roles. That cyclical hiring pattern prevents broad market recovery and limits opportunities for displaced workers. Relying solely on finding a new equivalent job is unlikely to succeed; more adaptive strategies and alternative pathways are necessary to stabilize income and careers.
