Is it normal to be disgruntled after a layoff?
I got laid off my IT role for a biggish MSP firm, they just called some people to say they had difficult measures to take, I was one of those people…
So a month and so later, I’m still searching and I just feel bitter and jaded, I’m not getting calls back.
Is it perfectly normal for me to feel this way about companies? I’m still confident I can try to get back into it from this setback but I just feel these firms no matter what industry they are, are utterly void of any camaderie.
Am I going insane?
(TLDR - Bitter Bri’ish guy who’s just asking if being infuriated with this isn’t like a mental disease)
Yes, I would say that is a fairly typical reaction.
Try to get some fresh air, or go out with friends, or whatever, clear your head a little bit from time to time. There’s only so much that can be done at once, and it’s good to try and get a break from dwelling on it too much. Changing your immediate scenery for a short span can aid in this.
