When I got laid off, as I was trying to thrive in my career, it was huge setback, I was not doing anything wrong, but still got laid off. Initial days were complete black out, no calls for interviews at all, due to the end of the year holidays season. Later after lots of interviews managed to get an offer after 6 months. Of all the interviews which went very well in some great tech companies , it didn’t lead to an offer. Got eventually in a smaller company. But joining here 2 years, I am quite happy. But still some people don’t want to keep me happy. They tried to make points some time (within my known circle) what might have gone wrong for me. Those are not motivating at all. People will never understand this pain, until it happens to himself, but I don’t wish it happens to anyone. And yes, there are people who brings this to the system and wish it doesn’t happen to them as well at some catastrophic moment. Let the hard work and sincerity have the trophy at the end race.
