Layoffs come with a lot of advice. Here’s some you might not hear enough: Take care of yourself first. When you’re ready, start exploring what’s next.
You did not fail. The chapter closed. Pause. Breathe. Reboot. You are not starting over, starting wiser. Now turn the page and write something unforgettable. #LinkedIn
Having the ability to process and be an advocate for yourself is necessary.
Hi LinkedIn Support Team LinkedIn LinkedIn Talent Solutions I recently created a new account after my previous one was restricted. I’ve completed all verification steps and just want to make sure this new account stays active. I truly value LinkedIn for my professional work and would appreciate your help reviewing this.
Having gone through similar moments, I've discovered that true recovery doesn't begin with finding a job, but with taking care of yourself. This list is worth keeping, not only for use during layoffs, but also as a reminder at any turning point in life: treat yourself kindly.
In countries with weaker economies, employees are often mentally prepared for layoffs or downsizing. This constant awareness somehow makes them more resilient and less shocked when it actually happens.

Wise advice!!! resilience starts with taking care of yourself before taking action.
When it rains, it pours. Good and bad fortune has a way of coming in rapid succession that can overwhelm people. I have learned in life, that when somebody likes you, they are willing to work with you through the bad times. People are more keen on working with each other instead of against each other. When somebody does not like you, they will find every excuse to find fault with you and to find ways to get rid of you. They treat you like a replaceable part instead of a human being. Are you a part of a chosen family? Or just a replaceable cog in a machine?
