The Stages Of Being Laid Off (GIF Edition)

I was recently laid off from my job as my position was terminated. I went through a whirlwind of emotion, and I didn’t really feel like writing a super long blog post about every stage of grief I went through. So, for the sake of entertainment, I have decided to do it all through memes. If you have ever been laid off (or even fired) share this. I am sure everyone can relate. Enjoy

Stage 1. You have no idea what is about to happen. You go about your day as normal.

Stage 2: End of day. It never fails that you have an awesome breakthrough moment where you want to tell everyone tomorrow about how awesomesauce you are

Stage 3: Manager comes to over to you as you get up to leave to go and talk to HR

Stage 4: As you walk to HR you try to figure out whether you did something wrong enough to be fired, but mostly you think you are getting a raise because you have been KILLING it recently.

Stage 5: HR sits you down and tells you are laid off, fired, whatever and your only possible reaction is...

Stage 6: Trying to handle it like an adult, when you know it is total bs

Stage 7: Trying to figure out whether to clean out your desk right then or come back and look like a total d-bag

Stage 8: Drive home and try to figure out a way to tell your family

Stage 9: Get home and cry

Stage 10: Then get really angry. Because you know it isn’t your fault and you did a great job

Stage 11: Plot your revenge in your head

Stage 12: Come to terms with it and move on to your next adventure, because you are awesome!

Stage 13: My own personal favorite….get a wayyyy better job

So if you get laid off or fired, go through these stages like a normal human and move on! You are worth it.
