After the extreme shifts in job security that came after the isolation of remote work during the pandemic, young workers are not shutting up. To speak out, some young people have started to use places like TikTok to get advice on career, vent about their corporate life and, now, to lament the crises, including their layoffs.
Angela Hall, professor of human resources and labor relations at Michigan State University, said the following on the subject: “People go online because they want to have that sense of camaraderie or connection with other people. people".
Many young people nowadays use the Tiktok platform to express their feelings, especially when they receive bad news and don't have any friends or colleagues to vent to.
The resignation that went viral
An example of this is the video by ValeraNo. Valera records herself reading an email sent by one of her bosses at the real estate marketing company, which said:
“Michelle, I am scheduling this mandatory meeting to discuss an important and urgent business update with you. I'd appreciate it if you'd make the time for this.” then she jokes, wondering if she's going to get fired.
After posting the video, she returns by posting another with her reaction, including tears and all, stating that she called her boss and confirmed that she and several other employees would be being fired.
Valera claims that she decided to post the video as a way to face the difficult situation, facing it in a way that was both funny and lighthearted. She says that she has always tried to face the difficult situations in her life in the best way and hopes to have helped other workers to face their layoffs in a different way.
“You can cry, sulk, be sad and depressed and it affects your mental health, or you can sit back, feel what you you need to feel, laugh and do the next best thing you can do – which for me, right now, is finding a new job,” said Valera.
