"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. 6-months became a year."
"Please don't tell anyone to focus on the job-hunt if you care about them. Send them this article instead. The world is full of goodwill, good intentions, and naive thoughts mixed in-between. 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?""
Massive layoffs have left many professionals scrambling with plans to regain employment, yet months stretch into years without success. Many well-meaning friends offer encouragement like 'You'll land something soon,' while those affected worry about feeding families and paying mortgages. Hoping to return to prior roles is often the biggest mistake; the market is not going to recover quickly. Companies are cycling through preexisting talent networks and repeatedly hiring similar profiles rather than expanding opportunities. Those laid off should therefore reconsider relying on traditional job-hunt strategies and pursue alternative paths to security and career resilience.
