There are tons of angry, worried, resentful posts out there. People concerned about being let go before, during or after Christmas. People angry with the way the layoffs are unfolding. Other’s upset as to the reasons “why we are at this juncture”. All I can say is use it.
Use it as motivational fuel to make your life better. As many others have alluded to, and I tend to agree, let it motivate you to learn a new skill or sharpen your existing skills. Wait, be patient, as the job market gets better, and it will, move on to another company.
If we have a soft landing, then in 2024 there will be a market bull run causing company stocks to sky rocket, which encourages growth which feeds into companies hiring.
If we have a hard landing then we end up into a recession that lasts about 6 months, then there will be a bull run as in the soft landing.
Either way, be patient, sharpen your skills and get your resume ready and move on when the time is right. Citi offers no benefits that other companies do not. Do not think that Citi is the only place you can ever work at.
