You know what I don’t want to be doing right now? My resume. You know what I’d like to be doing instead? My job. Instead of panicking. Instead of dreading the next round of layoffs. Instead of wondering if my name is on a list somewhere sealing my fate and all the important stuff I support evaporating or just handed off to someone else. I want to be all in on my work. Working for Facebook is my dream. It’s my major leagues. I’m very good at what I do, but I can’t compete with the bottom line. It’s like running a race with no finish line, just a cliff somewhere in the distance. And I hate this. I hate believing in a mission, being incredibly proud of where I work and what I work on, doing the best work of my career at a place I’d choose to stay for many more years and it’s not up to me. I’m a name on a list. And that’s devastating, because I’m so much more than that.
I'm so sorry Kiely. You don't deserve to feel this way.
This is so powerful, well said. Hang in there Kiely, there are many places ready to take you in the first chance they get.
Well said. I’m so sorry you’re in this position. It’s not right.
