That really sucks that happened to you. I've been fortunate enough that I've never been on the receiving end of layoffs like this.
I understand that you're scared, but I think you might need to have a read over your previous article again to know that you're in a better position than you think you are.
[I have nothing to show for it] except a good job with great benefits, 12+ years of professional experience and all the knowledge and skills that came with that experience. I’ve also worked with some great people, my peers respect my professional opinion and I can even call some lifelong friends.
12+ years of experience and everything that comes with it, Specialised knowledge in a CMS and templating language, and the passion, the love for the work. All of those things, along with the network of people you worked with over that time, will give you a great leg up into your next role.
I'm not saying it's going to be easy, bouncing back from a setback rarely is, but after reading your first article and seeing your attitude come across from it, I believe that you will bounce back. You might even find yourself in a better job this time around.
I hope you share how it goes with the community, we're with you. Best of luck!
