I Lost My Job, They Got the Credit: My Honest Reaction

It’s the notification no one wants to see. You’re scrolling through LinkedIn, trying to rebuild your professional life, and there it is: a post from the person whose decisions led to your layoff—and they are thriving. In this video, I’m getting honest about the resentment, the "why them?" and the genuine anger that comes with seeing someone succeed on the back of your loss. It’s a side of corporate life we don't talk about enough—the emotional fallout of being let go while the "villains" keep winning. We’re diving into how to process that professional grief, why stalking your old company is a trap, and how to stop letting their success dictate your worth. If you’ve ever felt like the "bad guy" won while you were left picking up the pieces, this one is for you. You aren't alone, and it’s okay to be angry—but let's talk about how to move forward.
