I was impacted by Google’s layoffs today, and I am aware that I am only one of hundreds of other very bright people who have also been impacted by the employment market this year. As the only supporter of my little family, I need to be resilient and act swiftly since the clock is ticking. DeCollibus posted this on LinkedIn.

Someone said, “I can’t explain how sad I am as a fellow lone provider for a tiny family (myself, my crippled mom, and disabled sister). I feel like I’ve taken on some parental responsibilities now that I’m 28. I learned to utilize pressure cookers and air fryers to make meals for my mum following her accident, having never cooked anything when I was a relatively carefree 22-year-old college student. What it must have been like to work at Google is beyond my comprehension. I’ve applied around 18 times, but I’ve never gotten beyond the resume screening.
“I don’t know who you are and how you work, but that doesn’t matter. I give you all the support so that soon you will be the one hiring all of us who are in your same situation right now,” a second individual said. Soon, success!”
“While jobs come and go, Vanessa never changes. GOOD LUCK and take a moment to unwind. You’ll soon be preoccupied with work, so treat yourself while you still can to the things you didn’t have time for, wrote a third.
I’m very sorry you were affected, said a fourth. You seem to have made a tremendously positive contribution to the Google culture. I really hope you quickly discover something new.
