I did something amazing and sort of miraculous while I worked in journalism: I didn’t get laid off once from three different jobs at three wildly different publications over the span of six years. And then I proceeded to change industries and jobs and get laid off twice in 11 months. After the second layoff, I felt pretty bad about like….everything. I considered my options and tried not to narrativize this spate of bad luck too much. For my next act, I could go back in-house somewhere again and have my fate rest in the hands of yet another manager who would eventually see me as a budgetary line item that needed to be cut…or I could try something different, something to give myself more agency.
that's wonderful! i like her already - not just because we share a birthday :)
