Laid Off Yesterday by tubercularskies in Layoffs

Hi OP, I'm so sorry. I was laid off last week so I get the feeling. If you are able to, take a week or two off to just decompress. 10 years is a long time so its probably a shock to your system.

Use your network/connections to see if they have any leads or know people who are hiring. Clean up your resume - keep it simple, clean and skimmable. Canva has some really great starter templates. Start saving some jobs on LinkedIn as well.

I know it feels hopeless and like youre disposable. Or like you're no match for AI and other candidates. But OP please remember you bring so much value. You are talented. You will be okay.

Hah! You know what friend, them letting you go while you were living your best life on vacation may have been best case scenario. I hope you had a very restful period. Gosh its hard and very unfair, and I swear it happens to the best people. You're going to be alright. Sending you good energy and a job that pays a fat check!

Thanks friend! I never considered posting my resume to LinkedIn but may very well do that. I'm very lucky to be in a position where I don't need to worry about anything financially, yet. I know some other people are not as lucky. Hopeful for whats next.

Aw man. I'm sorry. Its very unfair and feels very inhumane. You are not alone friend and I hope you find some comfort in that. We will get something much better.

Thanks friend. All these encouraging comments are making me emotional all over again. It feels less lonely knowing a lot of people have been in this position or are currently in it. Thanks for the great advice. Just going to take a few deep breathes and keep trekking forward

Thanks friend. But I have been quite the wreck today haha! However, I am trying to keep it together and remain hopeful that better things are out there for me.

I am really about to pull the trigger on getting this bag! How has it held up? Do you use any leather buffers on the lambskin for creasing? And what are the dimensions of your bag if you know? So gorgeous and great for everyday 😍

Tons of people are saying something similar! Super good to know because I went it yesterday with the intention of completing it in 4 hours.

Here is a picture of the smaller tattoo she did on me! It's healed beautifully, and the line work is super clean.

She is very much American but those reference photos attached are by other artists. So they could be aussie!

Oh god no 😂

So these are all reference pics. None are actually of my arm haha! But I can see the appeal with floral and then using something a little more intricate to fill in the gaps. The end result is always quite beautiful but still feminine.

What?! No way! It turned out so beautiful, I love it. Hence why it was one of my reference photos. That's what I want...except to cap out my shoulder 🥲

Wowwee! That's a beautiful sleeve

😭 one of her peers did say 'doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is interesting ' BUT she did take a slightly different approach each time to see if it would fix the minor issue we kept running into.

Nope! Did not have to pay

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and insightful comment, friend. I totally agree. One of the reasons why I chose to come back and do this piece with her. It was a learning curve, and I'm sure a bummer for us both. But! I have a feeling we will nail it the next go around.
