i was laid-off twice early in my career in very large reorgs / cost-cutting.

the thing that wld have been helpful for me to hear then was 'this is not abt you. you were a number on someone's spreadsheet. they wanted that number to go down by 1000 or 2000 or 10,000'.

so, to anyone who needs to hear that today:

it's not abt you. you did nothing wrong.

And Santos stole $3000 from a dog (that's not a joke, he actually did). He's just SO weird. Not for having done drag--I love drag--but because he's a big LGBTQ hater. And yet:

George Santos, Member of Anti-LGBTQ Party, Wore Drag Under the Name “Kitara” in Brazil
It seems when Santos was younger, he was a drag queen who went by the name “Kitara Ravache.” Now he’s a far-right congressman in a party that calls drag queens groomers.
