Well kids, it happened - after 7 years with this company - I just got laid off. If you need a business analyst who knows how to play with data (no matter the industry), hit me up. Would love to work for a marketing agency, playing with data. RT THIS.

anyway, gonna spiral for a day then get after it

And here's my Linkedin in thread. https://www.linkedin.com/in/csilver/ 

The good news is, I'm getting partial severance, so I'm not living in my car just yet.

I mean, I know a lot of people are getting laid off right now, so I can't be too 'woe is me' but 7 years is a long time and I'd never been laid off before in 20 years so it's a little weird to me. That's a lie. I was laid off before but only cause the entire company folded.

I figure one week til I'm at the cancelling streaming services stage of this

Applying for a bunch of jobs at @champssports, which is based here in Bradenton and would feed my shoe addiction which obviously, is on-hold for the time being.

So far the best thing about being unemployed is my Facebook post about it is getting hella engagement.

If you've been looking to scoop up a killer analyst who is also creative (we're rare) here I am, pant-less, but willing to wear pants.

I think I've applied to like ~10 jobs today, in my field, in my area. Tomorrow, I'm going to open it up to the nation. I figure with so many companies realizing that remote is no longer a fiction, there may be more opportunities abound.

I'll keep replying to this thread until I get a job BTW. Because I need to stay motivated, keep this up here and talk about it. Starting to hit a wall today though, been pinpointing my anxiety onto finding solutions.
