Shaffan Mustafa, a software engineer, has faced multiple layoffs since 2020. His experiences prompted him to seek solace through a Substack called Laid Off, created by Melanie Ehrenkranz, who too faced layoffs. The platform offers a space for individuals to share their layoff stories and connect with others who understand their struggles. The initiative highlights the emotional toll of job loss and the importance of community during challenging times.
I probably typed something like 'being laid off sucks' and found it that way.
I felt like there wasn't really a lot of spotlight on the individual experience of a layoff outside of a LinkedIn post or a tweet.
