Emotionally, it's been a roller coaster. I was completely blindsided by this decision. I had no idea that it was coming and really honestly didn't get much of an explanation other than restructuring and cutting back. They've chosen to eliminate my role in that process.

So that's really been challenging to not know why and if there are things to learn on my end that I can do that for future opportunities. But they gave the impression that there was nothing on my end. Both the CEO and my supervisor wrote letters of recommendation for me, which I'm so grateful for. So that's reassuring.

Absolutely. It really is. And so I've kind of gone through the range of emotions of confusion and anger to frustration to everything in between. Optimism about what's to come. Excitement trying to view it as something better will come of this.

Yeah, that's a great question. So I would say in short right now, I'm prioritizing remote work and I'm really not looking at hybrid or in-person because of those personal life goals that I want to continue with. If push comes to shove and things are not panning out, obviously I've got to be open at some point in the process to consider alternatives. I got enough easy access to funds

in savings and things like that to go for four to six months or so, I would say. I have other options beyond that, like tapping into my retirement. I have credit cards that are untapped. I could take a personal loan. There are options. Some of those are absolute last resort for me and that I really, really don't want to do them. But I just am curious about how I should think about

Tapping into something like that versus adjusting my job search criteria.

Yeah, that totally makes sense. The very first thing I did was file for unemployment, and thankfully that was approved. I certified for the first time last week, and one of the questions is, did you turn down any paid work?

And that's in the back of my mind as I think about like a part-time role, for example, where it's something to help get me through, but does that compromise or jeopardize the unemployment rate? if I say yes, that I turn down something or even a full-time role for that matter.
