Gina, you were that person for me—bringing kindness and a friendly ear many years ago. I have always remembered this and appreciated it so deeply. Having gone through it again this year, I can say that there is work out there, and, with your strong network I know someone will grab you up quickly! Anything that I can do to help, I sure will.
Oh my goodness emily I am so glad to hear that. It was so clear to me that you (so so talented) would find your next thing and that it would be great-- still sucks!! Hated losing you from the team. So glad we are still in touch xo
No surprise this is SO well said. Clearly you're good at what you do. A slightly different approach to embrace this brave new work world is just thinking of every opportunity as a "gig". That way every opportunity that doesn't work the way you think it will, always has a silver lining because you've got what you needed out of it and then get the freedom to move on, knowing you had that experience. And yes Gina, You've got this!
Thank you, Vanessa! Yes, a huge difference between this layoff and the food & wine one is that I know how to drum up work and make a living piecemeal. Looking forward to catching up soon xoxo
Thank you for sharing - your words and thoughts really resonated (and brought back those exact feelings when I had been laid off!). I’ve admired your work from afar and just wanted say ‘you’ve got this’.
This one made me so emotional. This news absolutely sucks, but I'm also amazed by your ability to post a truly moving piece about that sucky situation one short week later. Hope the next stage of your career transition is a good (great? fun?) one!
