You lost your job—
You didn’t lose your worth:
That role was a chapter, not your story.
Getting let go isn’t the end—
It’s a sharp turn you didn’t ask for.
But you can still choose where the road goes.
Most people freeze.
Some spiral.
Very few move with intention.
So here’s the plan:
📍Choose your next step based
on what you need most—
not what others
expect.
4 Mindsets for getting let go:
🔵 ACCEPT: stay calm and clear-headed
→ Ask direct questions
→ Exit with professionalism
→ Focus on facts, not feelings
🟢 BRAVE: respond with dignity
→ Treat this as a pivot, not a failure
→ Say thank you anyway
→ Pause before reacting
🔴 RESET: reframe the story
→ Close the door kindly
→ Lean on trusted support
→ A lost job doesn’t mean lost worth
🟡 RISE: move forward
→ Rebuild your resume and your next step
→ Elevate what’s next over what’s gone
→ Reflect without blame
The role ended. That’s all that ended.
Your talent, your story, your future —
Still intact.
You’re not broken. You’re in between chapters.
Now you get to build what comes next —
On your terms.
You are being let go
