It's funny how companies aren't too crazy about the remote work trend, but they are totally on board with the remote layoff trend.
wait I never thought about it like that before🫨 AHAH
Uh, if the employees aren't coming to the office, they how are they going to lay them off at the office? The remote-work trend is a huge scam to employers. It's human nature to not work as hard when they are not being monitored. If an employee is costing a company money, they are not going to keep them on.

I LOVE THIS wow that resonates so much with me
Einstein is talking
This was SO well spoken and I think showing your vulnerability in this moment will help so many people who are going through similar situations. Can’t wait to see what you accomplish next 💗
ILY🫶🏻🫶🏻
The motivation is so hard to get when you’re in your early 20’s and working a corporate job. You end up feeling so out of place.
this!!! feels like there is truly no right spot for me to be!! thanks for sharing
"We appreciate you". If that was true we wouldn't be having this conversation.
no so true
Tessa, don't have to be so sad. I got laid off from my bank sales job last month. I went through the exact same feelings as you do. I was so so lost, but it'll all be fine. Enjoy your severance package & the benefits it has. take sometimes to let yourself think through it. We will all be fine, it's not a bad thing, it's really not that bad.
Thank you for the kind words🫶🏻
This was a great video, thank you for voicing and showing such a vulnerable moment! It’s very brave to allow yourself to acknowledge and say “this is not what I want.” Even though you weren’t able to control the timeline of leaving an unfulfilling job, I’m glad you’re out of there and that you’ve had some time to reflect on what’s important to you and to rest a little. I’m 24 and work in healthcare and I feel so burned out. I’m in the process of figuring out what I want to spend my time doing but it’s a difficult process as the things I’m most interested in (photography, music, writing) may not be able to support me financially right away, if ever. Looking forward to seeing more content from you :) (also some of these comments are super weird and out of pocket, ignore the haters you’re doing great)
thank you so so so much for this ❤ we will both figure it out - the finances and the dreams will somehow align one day and we just keep moving forward until that day comes!!! thanks for sharing, it's always reassuring to know that everything is, in some way, a universal experience
Use your pain as motivation. Remember no one cares. No one. It's a illusion . Get a job. Get up dressed . And go to companies push your resume. Even intern.
I'm also in Toronto and let me tell you, its rough for everyone. A lot of people are either getting laid off or they're having to work in multiple jobs. Not only people are worried about job insecurity but there are many people that are also facing food insecurity. I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this rough patch but this will also pass. I promise. 💗
thank you so much for the kind words!!! yea it's been terrible to see how all the layoffs have impacted so many people in the city
I come back to this video at least 1 a week its so heartbreaking and also i dont feel as alone going through these tough times so thank you for making this video it is helping a lot of people .
that means the whole world to me!!! thank you so much for sharing🤍 that’s what the video is all about - it’s hard but we are not alone and it won’t break us
@@TessaMoorealso you are so beautiful ❤️
Keep strong. Have faith. When one door shuts on you many more opens. All the best. Sending you good vibes.
thank you!!!
Got recommended this video - I've been laid off from my corporate job in Toronto. Life can be rough, but on the bright side I mustered the courage to make YT videos from the job loss and moved cities. It's been the best blessing in disguise that I'm confident you will too will eventually see in the long run.
wow! it's so amazing to hear success stories come out of layoffs and other 'bad' things!! I really am excited to see what comes next and congrats on finding a new path for yourself
You got this girl - You are not the first person to be laid off and you certainly won't be the last - take this time to explore and figure you out. Also - you seem to have an awesome doggie - hang out with him/her - will make you feel good.
Thank you!!! That’s so sweet
i dont think companies understand the trauma of a layoff. For me i have been laid off twice and have become numb to social interactions at work and prefer remote only jobs hence forth while pursuing other revenue generating streams
this is sooooo true!!!
I’m really sorry you had to experience this. But you need to understand that nearly everyone goes through this. You are progressing in your professional career. Chin up. Your next job will be even better.
After it all went down, I learned that my parents have been laid off over 5 times between the two of them throughout their careers and now both are successfully retired and living their best lives… it’s scary but also comforting knowing that it’s a universal experience!! Thanks for the kind words😊
Sending you love bb! This too shall pass
❤️❤️❤️
You need to be strong. It’s a process we need pass through and soon you’ll get a great opportunity.
!!!!!!
I got laid off March, got a contract job in June then they terminated it last month. So I'm there with you.
I’m soooo sorry to hear that! We will figure it all out and come out so much better on the other side
Almost the exact same thing happened to me. This is my second job hunt this year and I’m exhausted.
Same, got laid off right before Thanksgiving
It’s so terrible but we will all come out on top🤍
I was in the exact same situation as you. I got laid off after 26 years with my previous employer in September 2021.
It will get better !!
As they say “when one door closes another will open”.
I found another job at a totally different industry.
I can't wait for the next chapter!!!
I'm so sorry to see this happen to you. It happened to me in July and I felt the exact same emotions. 6 months later I'm still unemployed but I'm enjoying being a jobless hobo for right now and working on my own things. I'm tired of being beholden to someone else and being a number.
this!!!! It’s so nice to have some control over life these days
I had similar feelings in my early twenties, it usually takes a while and a few jobs to finally find one that suits u ! hang in there :)
So true! Thank you!!
I genuinely hope you are able to find a career you are passionate about, but also hope you stay realistic that unfortunately probably 90% of people never get to. Don’t beat yourself up if you end up getting a job that isn’t your first choice. I am one of the ones that isn’t doing what I wanted to do, but ended up getting into a career that has been lucrative and allowed me to do what I love when I’m on days off and holidays.
thank you so much for the kind words! it has been a rough go at finding a balance of "okay I need income" and "not risk my sanity" but we're getting there!!!
I got fired for a stupid reason no job yet and trying to sell everything I own. It’s hard to believe in yourself.
But we can do this!
yessss we got this!!
OMG, you have such a big heart and a kind personality! Wish you all the best… I was laid off last week
wow thank you so much that is so so sweet! and sorry to hear you're going through it too! last week was the 6 month mark which is insane but we're getting closer to the next move :) if you can take some time for yourself to reflect, would highly recommend!
@@TessaMoore Thank you! 🙏 I do plan to take a few months off and focus on myself. Great advice.
I've been with the same company for 30 years and have never experienced a layoff. But I can read the writing on the wall that in the future they may want to trim some of their more expensive employees regardless of how well we perform to pad the bottom line. I think you handled this as well as expected.
thank you for the kind words!!!
Whenever there’s a down, there is always an up. It’s the law of nature. Goodness will come. I tested this 2 years ago when I felt all hopes were lost. But this law of nature still eventually pulled through. It might take a while, but just know that day will come, when you can reflect on the day you got laid off without tears nor sorrow.
thanks for sharing this!!! sooooo true
That's when you immediately decline the meeting saying you are too busy and re-schedule it for the next week.
Why didn’t I think of that😅
Overtime I realize none of this really even matters. Focus on your physical/mental health, relationships and spirituality… the rest will take care of itself
this is soooooo true
Oh no😢 I’m so sorry
❤❤❤
deep down your heart, you knew it. you are ok. you can get a job more greater
thank you!!
God bless you 🙏 I pray that you find a job soon.
Thanks!!
It’s tough but better roads near. Same happened to me twice.
it’s a way more common thing to go through and I ever imagined!! so happy to not be alone in this
I was laid off September 7th and everything you’re feeling I can really relate to. I’m still looking for a new job and working some odd jobs in the meantime to help keep me afloat (I wasn’t given severance, nobody in my department was). But I’m choosing to look at this as a stepping stone to get me where I need to be and I’m learning a lot through all of this. We’re going to be okay and we will end up exactly where we’re supposed to be🩵
We’ve got this! Stay positive and we’ll figure it out (eventually)
On a Monday?
I hope you will presevere from this event. I know you are capable of bring value to a company that you want. Gotta make a plan and execute it.
so kind, thank you!!
I was let go from a lucrative temp job, using my skills as a document imaging person. Quite low on the totem pole. I have knowledge (if not experience) of so many technical things. I just don't know how to market myself. So I am in my 4th month of joblessness, and I dunno what to do either. I'm going to explore your channel some, and see what you're up to.
I'm sure you'll find something that works for you!! whatever you end up doing will be the right fit
@@TessaMoore thank you! :)
Well, UA-cam has changed their monetization rules, you only need 500 subscribers in order to be paid. You’re almost there. This was a nice vlog. Thank you for sharing.
Great point! Thanks so much 😊
I watch a lot of layoff videos because I don't want to feel I am alone in this stage😢
omg you are sooo far from being alone in this!! unfortunately there are A LOT of us dealing with it right now
not sure how i found this vid but i'll post the same thing i did on another one of these vids that yt recommended me lol. it is almost a GOOD thing when you get laid off when youre early to mid career. it forces u to get out there and find a better job, instead of rot away in complacency. i know people that stayed in their job for decades and they make a lot less money than if they had just gone out there and ventured. you only have so long to be working and that amount of time is never going to get any longer!
I love this comment so much!!! thank you so much for this❤❤❤
You're doing great 👍
thanks!!!
Why are you using that roller on your face?
hahaha I keep it in the freezer so it’s supposed to help take away some of the puffiness but I honestly just needed it to help wake me up after getting zero sleep the night before
i was going to college for business administration in specifically wireless sales. that was the goal. i quickly sobered up after a long chat with a trusted professor about how unapologetically tech companies cycle out people, diminish roles and create new ones shortly after. i went into my dream of dentistry this year. i am so sorry, i wish you all the luck in the world. a new opportunity will arise !! ❤
that is so amazing, congrats on finding your path!! I know I'll figure mine out and get there some day, just a matter of time and work :) thanks for sharing your story
As an adult raised before computers it's difficult to feel empathy for job losses in a sector that has caused so many of modern society's ills. Of course we are all forced to endure all this tech in our lives today, but as someone who predates it I can unequivocally state life is not better today, it's in many ways worse.
that was honestly part of why I was so unhappy in my role prior to the layoff! spending my days lining the pockets of huge tech corporations was just not it for me
its tough out there good luck. I am blessed to work in healthcare and IT but I feel like AI is coming at me fast!
I've found a new role that I love but it's definitely a spooky world out there
In last 14 year's of IT jobs working as consultant I laid off many times and I quit many times as well what I can tell you is this profession is like this from a long time unless you're cobol or assembly developer 😊😊
such a great learning opportunity! I know it will prepare me for the inevitable next time it happens
I hate corporate america. I finally thought working in a investment firm would be great.. I survived 2 lay-offs.. this last one hit me hard.. my entire department was let go, but me.... I got a text from someone who don't even work for the company saying do you still have a job.. like I don't mind working for the company, and I understand cuts happen, but damn it's so hard mentally just thinking your job is always on the line.. Iike I go in and I see like EVPs all the time, and in my mind I just say you "piece of shit all you care about is money .. " unfortunately I hate that thought process, but it's so hard to look past 2 cuts within the past 3 years.
I’m with you on that!!!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
welcome@@TessaMoore
THROWBACK!
biiiiiig tbt vibes
🙏
:)
Lol. This kind of oversharing will surely help you land the next role /s
if they don’t want me when I’m down, they don’t deserve me when I’m up🤷🏼♀️
Watching your video while refreshing my companies news have a horrible feeling I will get the same dreaded news tomorrow ..
crossing my fingers for you!!! but also, whatever is meant to be, will be❤
Best luck! Bidenomics isnt really working, I’ve been trying to get anything even a short term contractor role with Robert Half for two years, and they know everyone.
it is definitely a tough spot for people who’ve lost their jobs :(
Hi Tessa, sorry about getting laid off. I'm sending you an email and I want to offer you some free career coaching.
cool thanks!
realy beauty
🙏🩷🙏
❤❤❤
Breaks my heart to see you struggling. I've been laid off multiple times and had to accept work outside my degree and desires. You'll find your way. The most important thing to accept and understand is that the economy impacts many lives. Voting for a liberal because you like their policies and hate the other guy isn't product. Vote Trump in 2024 or else accept your life of nothingness.
appreciate the kind words! I'm getting closer to figuring out what's next and I'm really excited about it!! let's try to keep politics out of it :)
@@TessaMoore It's the heart of it. Vote better. Elon Musk summed it up best in his tweet:
There is either a red wave this November or America is doomed. Imagine four more years of this getting worse
During my career I was laid off quite a few times. You just have to suffer through it, there's nothing to be done. You liberals, whoever you are, voted for this when you voted for "Ol' Joe"
canadians can't vote in american elections so ya can't blame me for it🤷🏼♀️
Imagine filming one of the worst moments in your life and then posting it!! 🤣 and Americans all wonder why they are depressed. 🤣
good thing I’m Canadian🤪🤪
I farted a ton during this vedio and it smells as stale as this vedio
nice!
Time to have a baby 🐥🍼 get Married 😊
naaaaaaah
Lol 😂 avoid stress Tessa! Travel!@@TessaMoore
Wtf… its time for you. Dont tell her what to do!
Oh silly you, you have so much to learn about life, dear...
we’ll all be learning forever, can’t wait!
It’s hard when you’re so young, navigating life and a career. It’s not silly. It’s challenging. Your comment just comes off rude.
Assine comment
I'm glad they got rid of the waste.
same! onto bigger and better :)
why do you make these vlogs? Husband not giving you enough attention?
Why are you leaving comments under a woman’s video where she’s already having a hard time? Mommy didn’t love you enough? Daddy not there enough?? Women aren’t interested in you??
you’re an icon Emily🫶🏻
Why are taking up space on this planet
I'm an Electronic engg I got layoff in 2023 Aprill... But I don't care I'm now a farmer.im 28 Now.I was a Camera ISP Engineer🇮🇳 with 4 YRS of experience
It’s really cool to see how people pivot out of these situations, I hope you’re happier now than last April
