Not really seeing how it's rejection. She applied, got hired, and was set free because she was last hired. She is free to explore better options and not become stagnate.

I've been in HR for 35+ years. Every company goes through this at one time or another and many will follow a LIFO (last in, first out) standard when determining who would be impacted by a layoff. Your manager was right though, this could turn out to be a really good thing - you've got experience and references that you didn't have before and now you can use that to find another position hopefully easier/faster/better than your last one. So have a good cry, wipe your tears, and go out and live your life... you're going to be just fine!

I've been in corporate as long as you have. I agree that the company followed LIFO when determining impacts. To answer Keegan's other question, they knew about this months ago. I have been involved in many restructuring initiatives, and discussions around cost savings and resource impacts take months before they are finalized and communicated.

I think people should always hunt for opportunities. Never wait for a layoff. Be faster, you can't get fired if you quit first and move to a better job. If you feel the company has issues, jump ship asap. I immediately jumped ship as soon as a few people got fired. You don't just sit around and wait your turn.

Getting laid off is not embarrassing, it is unfortunately corporate America. I am so sorry dear. You are so bright and motivated. I know you will find something better!

The job market is so bad. It took me 7 months just to get a simple part time position. People graduating are competing with experienced workers recently laid off so the opportunities are very low. All we can do us keep goibg and pray for the best. This is inspiring me to start something to fall back on. My biggest fear is homelessness. You got this!

Oh my god I can’t believe they didn’t let you say goodbye to anyone!! This is wild. My heart is breaking for you bestie. You did nothing wrong and should hold your head high knowing that you have this gif your all. You’re going to find another job that is so beyond grateful and lucky to have you. Love you lots, sorry this was such a bad week, hope you’re taking care of yourself 💛

When I got laid off I found my now husband and who then pushed me apply for a job I wouldnt have apply for otherwise. Got the job. Got married. Bought a house. And had a kid. Sometimes life just steers you in another direction. I hope you look back on this lay off as psotively as i look back on mine in 5 years.

Honestly best you didnt get the condo. Non-warrantable means no government agency will give anyone financing on it. Thats why they need cash offers. It would be hard to sell and could put you in a position of not being able to sell it when you need to.

i keep adding comments sorry, lol! also update your linkedin page that you are open to work as well.

I got laid off in January and I was crying all day in my office. Little did I know that it would be the best thing to ever happen to me!! I was finally given the time to apply and interview as much as I could. One month later, I ended up with 5 offers and went with my first choice that was DOUBLE my previous salary. Rejection is really redirection! I don’t think I could’ve applied myself this well if I was still working full time

It wasn't meant to be, just a redirection in life. ❤ you've got this!

Aww sister, this is not embarrassing. It is a setback. But you are amazing and something better will come around the corner. As far as the house-there will be more on the market, hopefully with better interest rates! You're one of my favorites. Keep being your vulnerable, peppy, fun self and everything will fall in to place.

Keegan thank you for keeping it SO REAL with us no matter what. We love you and we’re ALWAYS here for you🩷

When one door closes, another one opens. You just gained valuable experience and knowledge. You’re hard working, and personable. Who wouldn’t want you. You will rise to the top in no time.

I’m so sorry this happened Keegan! That is so hard I can’t imagine. The same thing happened to my brother this year. I’ve heard lots of stories of this happening to a lot of people who have been post-grad from college from 2020-now. Great things are coming your way & I know you will find the perfect company & position for you! I admire your authenticity on camera so much it’s refreshing to see a creator show the real parts of life that aren’t all happy & picture perfect.

So sorry Keegan. Just know that there is something better out there for you where you will be so so valued! And the condo falling through sounds like a blessing in disguise. Everything happens for a reason girl! ❤❤

Thank you for posting this. We have all been there. This is so so hard and I am sure it will help so many people going through similar things. ❤❤❤

I definitely know the feeling of being laid off. It’s not a fun experience but you gotta keep moving forward. Last year, I was laid off of my higher ed job and 8 months later, I got a brand new job in higher ed. Don’t give up on finding something new everything happens for a reason! I know you got this!

Hey girly. Your feelings are validated and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. But thank you for being vulnerable and for sharing your experience as it really normalizes when life isn’t going as you planned. Thinking of you ❤️

I am so sorry to hear this! Know that you have a community of people that loves you and is here for you ❤

I’m so sorry Keegan! I got laid off last week so I know exactly how you are feeling rn cause I’m going through the same thing. The thing I’m keeping in mind is that something better is coming and that’s honestly what’s getting me through this right now. Thinking about you and know better things are on the Horizon💗

Keegan!! This is so sad to hear, but thank you for sharing your honest/real emotions. You’re so charismatic and talented literally any employer would be lucky to have you. Again I appreciate your vulnerability and am sending you all the love & encouragement. ❤️

I'm so sorry Keegan! Bigger and better things are to come.... everything will work out for you! 💕

Keegan.. thank you for even sharing this aspect of your life with us. You are being redirected and better is yet to come. Sending you strength!!

I'm so sorry this happened to you Keegan!! It's a competely awful situation, but I truly believe that everything always works out in the end. It may be in 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, a year, or longer, but there will be a time where you'll look back on this situation and be glad for what opportunities it brought you. Just please make sure you take the time to heal mentally before pushing onto the next big thing! Wishing you all the best, and sending hugs from England!

Im so sorry Keegan. Don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed, you didn’t fail. This isn’t a reflection on you at all. Sending you all the positive vibes and healing energy. You’ve got this! And also everything you’re feeling is normal and valid.

Thank you for being so vulnerable here. You are going to be absolutely okay, someone else mentioned rejection is direction - I totally agree! This might be just what you need so another better door can open for you in time xx

thank you for being so real we need it in this time especially on social media where everyone seems to living their best life so thank you❤

I’m so sad for you…. I’m so sorry. I feel like crying with you! I’m the same age/phase of life as you and this is one of my biggest fears. I’ve been watching you for years and seen you grow! This sucks, but you’ll overcome it!! You will do great things!

Giving you the BIGGEST virtual hug!🥺 you are SO talented and I’m so excited to see what doors open for you!

So sorry Keegan! One of the reasons why i love watching your videos is how relatable you and your vlogs are and this is no exception. Its sooo not embarrassing to feel all the things you are feeling being blindsided like this but you clearly do have great resources from your previous job and I look forward to following along as you will surely get your next one!

Oh sweetheart😭 You have so many people and followers who love you! You WILL be ok!!

Keegan 😢 I'm so sorry about you being laid off. I could how much you loved the job even before you confirmed you got it. You are going to have another amazing opportunity come your way. This was just your first step. Being graceful with yourself ❤.

Praying for you sweet Keegan!! Keep your head up, you've got this.

Dear Keegan , thank you so much for creating these entertaining videos for us, you don't know how much I love watching ur videos and how much of an inspiration you are to me

Awwww Keeg you truly are a class act . I can’t wait to see what you do next ! Thank you for being so transparent with us ❤

So sorry this happened Keegan, sending you love! I got laid off in 2023 and I went through alllll the exact same feelings as you, it can be so shocking and difficult to adjust to! It’s a weird job market as you know but I’m hopeful for both of us finding the right next step for work and for life 💕😊

So sorry to hear that! I believe there are something better and amazing waiting for you! !!!!!!!!!!!

Keegaaaan I'm so sorry! I know it may not seem like it right now, but it will get better and you will look back on this being a learning experience. You have so much to offer, look at the impression you left at your first job! You will do amazing. And stop apologizing about crying! You did nothing wrong. Sending you a big hug through the computer screen ♥♥

Keegan I’m so sorry to hear that!! You’ll be okay everything will work out ❤

Sending you so much love, it's a horrible thing to go through and it's valid to feel all of these feelings. Take time to heal and be easy with yourself. And with the house, it honestly sounds like you've had a lucky escape, it sounded sketch that it was so cheap and cash only so I think something bad would have happened! You will come out the other side ❤

sending you so much love, I know how hard it can be! I truly love your content and feel like we are friends. I cant tell you how much I look forward to your content. All things will pass and everything will be ok🤍

Im so sorry that happened to you but you handled it so well, you should be proud. you let yourself be sad and cry but really starting thinking forward. you will do great things ❤

My heart goes out to you, I know you will get through this! ❤️

I'm so sorry. Please know this happens and don't be embarrassed!! You are strong and will find another job that will be better than the last one.

Awww Keagan I am so so sorry to hear this news. I’m sure it was very shocking and still doesn’t feel real. This is just a sign that something better is on its way. Stay strong beautiful girl!! Love always! 🩷🌷🫶🏻💐

Got further along in the video.. you are so young and that's honestly great! You're already way ahead of others in this life game. I've been let go from jobs about 5 times already. It never feels good, but it's so normal nowadays.

So sorry Keegan, everything will work out!! ❤

Keegan! Thank you for sharing this very real experience. I'm so sorry this happened to you and can't wait to see if you go the condo!!

Lay offs are so hard! Your feelings are so valid! Just stay positive Keegan❤

So glad I found your channel today. Wishing you the best on your career journey and I know you said you’re unhappy with doing social media full time but I hope you flourish on here! ❤

Keegan, so sorry you were laid off. I know it's super hard in the moment, but please don't take it personal. I'm in marketing and have been through 3 layoffs during my career. It did end up being for the best in the long run. You now have more experience for your resume and will find something great!

I know this is devastating for you because I’ve seen a change in you since getting the job but know that there is a reason for this. This too shall pass and you will be fine. It’s a process and I know you soon be on to something great. Believe it and tell yourself everyday how awesome and strong you are because you got this!❤❤❤

Sending you love. My family member also recently got laid off. It's a hard time out there. You are a beautiful, smart, accomplished soul and I have full faith you will find the next best thing for you! Hang in there

i'm so sorry that you got laid off:c everything will work out in the end ♥ sending lots lots lots of love

Awwww stay strong girl. Things will pick up. One door closes another opens. Hugs to you from the snowy mountains of montana

I am so sorry about your job! It’s ok to feel alll the emotions you are feeling! I can’t tell you how many times I got laid off! I had this really important job for 3 -1/2 years when the company was experiencing a big lay off! I was devastated and I cried for 2 weeks! You just get up and forage through and hopefully you can find another job! Things do happen for a reason and maybe a bigger and better opportunity is awaiting you! Keep your chin up!

I hear you! I've been there. Lost my job Jul2023 and I FINALLY landed a new one. Crying is normal. It sucks getting laid off but I do believe something better will come out of this. You've got this!

Aww I’m so sorry! Keep your chin up something better will come your way!❤ love you!

I am so sorry about what happened. Stay hopeful and you will soon find the job that is best for you. There will be a job that is meant for you. Sending love.

I just want to give you the biggest hug! I can see how much you value and loved the work you did. I'm really sorry this happened. Another door will open for you.

You’re not alone. I’m on the chopping block after 8 months at my first job post-grad. Thanks for being real ❤

I hope she got paid a decent chunk of money for not being allowed to talk for 2 weeks cos that's a long time esp for someone who's jobless. That's one paycheck gone.

@@rachelv9441 Unfortunately yes. It is not an illegal form of silence if the other party willingly signs it. She could have declined. Most likely a severance package was offered and that was part of the NDA as an incentive. It does not need to be a huge amount offered and can sometimes be negotiated. She also mentions how her company is global and headquartered in London so this is not just an American thing. Which also goes to what kind of NDA she signed. If it is a non-compete NDA then that would make more sense on the staying quiet since it can also affect companies that work with her company and causing them to pull contracts. But also so she does not take any company accounts or secrets with her to a competitor. Knowing she is in the marketing world, this is likely the kind she signed. Generally you are not supposed to talk about it because people are still likely to be laid off and the company is trying to do this quietly until they are ready for it to come out. This could be because what you were offered may not be what others were offered in their severance package and they do not want other employees to be tipped off. This also extends to the competition and trying to not get the word of any possible financial trouble or whatever other reason out there. It is all about the company’s confidentiality.

I got laid off back in November, and I understand you fully. It hurts so bad, especially when you're not expecting it. My best advice: cry, get mad, do all the emotional release you have to do to not keep it in. Things will only get better, I promise. It's a blessing in disguise. It turned out to be the best thing to happen to me. Good luck ❤

I was in a very similar position as you a few months ago and now I have the best job I think I could ever have. As cliché as it is, Everything happens for a reason!!! You will be in such a different position in a year and I’m sure you will be thankful this happened.

Im so sorry to hear this Keegan 🙁 but don’t feel embarrassed for crying, it’s a natural thing to do. I know when I put my 2 weeks in for the first law firm I ever worked for, I felt like a failure for sure, but I feel like I had to in order to find a better place for me and in the end it was all worth it. I now work at a firm where I am genuinely happy and I feel like I can truly grow and I’m learning so much more now 😊 life has its ups and downs but you will always be where you need to be :) so chin up, chest high, don’t be afraid of success 🤍

We don't pity you, this is a very common experience unfortunately. I feel for you so much, I am 24 and work in a corporate environment and I am always scared of layoffs, especially being in the tech industry. Cry it out as much as you need and know that new, better doors are opening for you soon. My cousin was also in marketing (also 24) and struggled finding jobs in her area upon graduation and ended up moving to Texas for a job opportunity. Life takes you in so many directions but you are doing great! One step at a time

Best wishes and I know that it will turn around. You’ll find an even better job and that condo isn’t the right place. You will find the right place. It’s tough right now but it will get better.

Awww Keegan I am so sorry!! Same exact thing happened to me after working someplace for 2 years. I was the most expendable my my workplace couldn’t keep up with their reckless spending and keep me. I luckily found another job quickly and it was the best thing to happen to me! Company ended up loosing more money with my severance pay rather than waiting for me to quit on my own if they had waited a month longer. Your experience is a great resume builder and finding your next job will be quicker because of that!! Sending you all the good vibes and luck ahead of you!! 💛💛

I’m sure you will find something even better, and one day you will be saying “that was the reason”. I’ve been watching your videos for God knows how long… you shine girl!! ❤️‍🩹

I am so sorry for your news. This will make you stronger and better jibs will come along. Keep the faith. But give yourself time to grieve for both the house and the job All will be ok

I can so relate to these feelings, was laid off a couple years ago and it took a few weeks to process it and get back on my feet I was very tearful as well 💛 but a month or so later I ended up in a job that I love with great people and while I am still in touch with my old coworkers I’m so much happier at my new role. I hope the same thing happens for you!!! In the meantime this song kept me sane - July (later on) - Lily Williams. It is a good reminder to stay in the moment and trust the process. 💛💛 you got this

Definitely not embarrassing. There’s so many things that are out of our control and all we can do is roll with the punches. I’m in a position now where I moved to a different state and struggled for over a month to get a job in the restaurant industry despite having over 7 years of experience. The reality of it is that the market where I live is slow and that’s something that’s out of my control. I have to adapt and know that you will too. I’m confident that despite our situations right now, we’ll come out the other side better off and stronger than we were before. This vlog was reassuring in that this is happening to everyone and we’ll all get through it!

I have been watching your videos for a while and rarely comment but I wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear that you were let go. I'm sure another opportunity will come along for you and you WILL be able to buy the perfect condo/house for you! Keep your head up, I firmly believe good things are still coming your way! 💗

Aww girl! First: thank you for being so honest, like always! Second: don`t be sorry! Unfortunately things happened, some days everything all at the same time! It is scary but I know you WILL find a better job than the one you had! Don`t be embarrassed, don`t feel we are pitting on you, we care about you and want the best!! We are here for you girl, fun or though times, we are here! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Keegan, I am so sorry! I went through the same in October. I am moving to Phoenix this month from WA because I got a new job. I know it will work out for you too!

So sorry to hear this news Keegan ❤ I got made redundant last year but to be honest, even though it didn't seem like it at the time, it was the best thing that could have happened to me - my life has improved in many ways from getting my new job and I'm grateful now! I'm sure this will be a pathway to bigger better things 😊❤

I'm so sorry :( ❤ Big hugs. Please know you are still amazing. This change does not change that ❤ everything will be alright. More hugs!

Best day of the rest of your life mama. Stay with social media. You can make so much more. And girl, do not let your worth be where you work. No company will care about you more than yourself. It’s life. Wish I had social media 20 years ago when I was young. You have your own business with SM…that condo not going through was a blessing!! It’s a nightmare which is why it’s so cheap. Life is going how it should.
