Today, out of nowhere, I just got laid off among others, including my boss! And right before having our first kid too… Scary and sad, but we’ll get through it. Maybe a blessing in disguise (may get a better paying job). ---

Good luck. It sucks ass. No 2 ways about it. I got whacked 9 months ago. In my case, it was a sucky 4 months but landed well. I wish you all the best and especially with the kidlet ---
