It's not the end of the world, I got laid off a week after my bday like a decade ago, felt like a failure for a Lil bit till they told us what the severance package was 
Recently got fired at work. Any advice?

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
Yep. My company was going through major layoffs at the beginning of the Covid pandemic so I prepped all this shyt just in case
They are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone you were fired WITHOUT cause. If it was for a specific reason ie for cause, that’s different.
As far as anyone knows when you apply, you just quit your job
My business alone makes $300,000 a year. This is about the threadstarter
Telling someone to take a vacation for a month immediately after they've been laid off is fuccking stupidity.

Yea taking a month off to get your mind back right is stupid. You acting like OP didn't make this thread because he feels down bad right now, fukk are you even talking about?? And you yapping about money like he wouldn't make that back the next signing bonus he gets.

It's fukked up breh but, until you're in an extreme position of power, you can't let cacs know how you really feel about them.
You clearly don't live in reality breh
I do actually. I just had conversations with people that work at Google what they would do if laid off. To each it's own.After tax its more like 70K but I hear you. I know objectively that I am in a much better position and that I just need to be patient but its tough to know/see where the next opportunity is going to come from - especially during a time where unemployment is rising.
nikka you can do whatever tf you want for a minute then
I am hanging in there but certain times it hits
This is what I was trying to explain to @DJSmooth Its not like how it used to be. The market is TOUGH as hell.
And gahdamn at how hard they taxing that shyt
But yeah in that case, I'd definitely say get to applying. Definitely don't want to be waiting until Oct-Dec when companies stop hiring annually on top of how tough shyt just already is.

My heart goes out to you man. I got laid off in 2013 from a cushy City County Building job. “Budget cuts.” One of the bright spots in later years after I got laid off was seeing the guy who gave me my severance paperwork get voted out of office in 2016. It was glorious. 
Keep your head up.

Hate to hear it 
Honestly, the first thing to do is to take a deep breath. Process whatever information you must, and learn from the experience.
Then, update your resumé. That should give you a clear picture of what you're good at and how you can leverage your way into a new job.
Job hunt efficiently. It's time to use the networking you've done over the years. Look up the market and where the opportunities are. Then optimize your resumé for it and pull up.
