To my LinkedIn Community,
It’s difficult to find the right words when you’re laid off but it is the reality which I’m faced with having received my notice this week. Obviously, I knew the layoffs were coming, but I just didn’t know how they would play out.
I feel fortunate to have worked at Google for 10 years and honestly couldn’t believe my luck when I got the call all those years ago. I’ve always been someone who looked at making the most of opportunities and giving it my best and I did that throughout each of my roles with no regrets. To everyone I worked with along the way - leaders/ managers/ peers/ candidates/ clients - I want to say a heartfelt thank you. It has been an honour.
Times like these are useful moments to stop and reflect. As the saying goes, ‘you can only control the controllables’ and the reality is I had no control over this. There is however, always a reason why things happen and though I may not see it yet, I know this moment is helping to point me in the right direction and lead me to even more amazing and incredible opportunities.
I’ve received many kind offers from people looking to help. If you are able and happy to, the following would make a huge difference:
-- Liking/ sharing/ commenting on this message or (if I’ve worked with you in some capacity) writing me a LinkedIn recommendation.
-- If you’re looking for a great Recruiting Manager/ Senior IC Recruiter/ HR Professional in Switzerland or Remote, reaching out after taking a look at my profile and recommendations.
-- Help to expand my network.
Thank you in advance for all of your support!
Tomas
