You're ahead of the curve here, as usual. I think a lot of folks won't yet be at this stage yet. They need to go through the stages of grief. They may also need to see that the job market is, indeed, a lot smaller and worse than when we all got into this business. But I'm glad you - and this substack - will be there when they are ready. Best to you,
Thanks! I went through the stages of grief last week, starting last Friday when the first big stop work order was issued. I may be a few days ahead of others, but the stages are not linear. I am crying and screaming into the wind still.
That said, we all need to get new jobs. My family has savings, but my life goals do not include me being unemployed for multiple months in 2025 waiting for whatever random bits of aid work resume later this year. We need to grieve.. and pivot!
