There were several rounds of layover at a startup where I worked and so I expressed my concern to HR that I wouldn't be able to find a job if I were laid off. Her response, which I never believed, is that employers don't look so unfavorably towards laid off workers and that finding a new job would not be so hard. Well, this article states just what I feared. Fortunately, I have never been laid off or fired but I have never felt that it would be easy to find a job if it ever happened. Being laid off would make me feel as if I wasn't capable even if it wasn't the case. It would sure be a blow to my self-confidence. Best of blessings to those who are unemployed and still looking.
