When Meta laid people off, it did something most companies don’t.
They offered access to an Alumni Portal, a space where former employees could find resources and stay connected to get new opportunities.
As a hiring manager, I’ve seen layoffs up close.
One day, you're employed. The next day, you are rewriting your resume and wondering what just happened.
It happens fast.
Here’s one simple thing I wish more companies should start doing:
When parting ways, they should offer resources to their impacted employees, not just a goodbye.
Whether it’s an alumni network, a career‑transition toolkit, or even access to a career coach through the portal.
These aren’t just nice extras. They’re dignity‑builders.
Because you gave your years, your energy, your effort to a company.
And when that ends, you shouldn’t be left alone at the edge.
To every leader handling tough decisions:
Promise more than severance and assurance. Please provide a lifeline to the people who’ve dedicated their everything to build your company.
To anyone who’s been impacted:
You’re not the end of the story. You’re just turning a page.
Repost this if you agree that companies should offer resources to the impacted professionals so they can find their next role.
