"Last April, I received a notification that I had 30 minutes before I would lose all of my work access - and that within an hour, I would receive some paperwork. Then my boss called me with the news: I, along with several colleagues, had been laid off. I was working for Wells Fargo in a management role, and had some suspicion that a layoff was coming."
"Nearly a year after being laid off, I'm still looking for a full-time role. My search strategies haven't landed me a role so far. After some reorganization about a year earlier, there was redundancy in certain areas, and I felt like my workload started to dry up."
Robin Peppers Daniel was laid off from Wells Fargo in April after working as a lead control management officer. This was her second layoff, having previously been laid off from Walmart in 2018. She received severance through mid-June and has been searching for full-time work for nearly a year. Initially focused on banking and corporate trainer roles, she has become open to positions utilizing her transferable skills. She turned to substitute teaching as an interim solution while continuing her job search, recognizing that finding employment in her early 60s presents significant challenges despite her extensive management and instructional design experience.
