Reasons to be happy about. a layoff:
I disliked my company's leadership
My boss was undermining my success at work
Some clients were very annoying and demanding
Now I have the time to truly devote myself 100% to a job search
Now I can take some much needed mental health time off
Perhaps the extra COVID unemployment benefit will continue - this is supposed to end tomorrow, so I pray they will extend the boosted benefits
Maybe I will find a far better match for myself
It's not the end of the world, as long as I can continue to cover all expenses and rent
