Manifesto
The Laid Off Legends Manifesto
This is our approach to this new chapter of our lives, and form the guiding principles on how we work together.
Acceptance over Regrets. We fully accept the layoff experience as another career experience, not a place of shame and isolation. We leave negativity and self-doubt behind, and embrace the experience as an opportunity for gratitude, resilience, and learning.
From Setback to Comeback. We adopt a mindset that this is an exciting beginning and an opportunity to look forward with intensity. The layoff experience is a catalyst for learning, re-invention, and transformation. The career disruption is an opportunity to revisit and reimagine our potential - and forge new paths forward.
Collective Rising. We believe in the power of community over competition. We actively expand beyond the silos of our specific companies and share our knowledge, networks, and opportunities. We understand that our collective expertise is our greatest strength in rising and reshaping our adventure. We actively mentor, guide, and support fellow members, ensuring that our individual successes contribute to a larger movement of positive change.
Innovation Through Adversity. We transform our challenges into opportunities for innovation. Free from corporate constraints, we dare to envision and create solutions that push boundaries. Our diverse experiences fuel our creativity and drive us to build better alternatives.
Authentic Leadership. We commit to being transparent about our journeys - both the victories and the struggles. By sharing our authentic stories, we inspire others and demonstrate that vulnerability is a strength and a catalyst for incredible change.
