Hope everyone is doing okay during this layoff season. It’s been quite chaotic, but I know we’ll come out better and stronger. This opens a whole new chapter of life for me that I’ve never got to experience before, and I def plan on taking you along this journey!!

SENDING LOTS OF LOVE! Also omg 100k ?!?!?!

[iamkid_a]

your parents really know how to break the tension by talking about you being pregnant 😭 i stg they did that on purpose to throw you off that is sooo funny

[_womaninpower]

Your parents were so cool about this. Love how your dad said "isn't that very normal?"

Absolutely love it!

[tiffschateau]

I got laid off this week and the feelings you described are SO accurate. But I'm excited to see your journey into full time content creation! I'm also looking forward to my next chapter as well. Blessing in disguise!

[eerinoneil]

Ugh layoffs are awful but all things considered I really appreciate your outlook and positivity on the situation! It's really inspiring and I feel like you've made so many people feel less alone. Excited for this next chapter for you 😊 I think it's going to be great!

[createdbyriks]

LMAO YOUR DADS REACTION. Thanks for sharing as always, Chlo! We’re excited to see how this season of your life plays out and how you CRUSH IT! Onwards & upwards 🎉🎉

[coriingram]

I found you through tiktok but you’re a natural at long form content!! Really excited to see you give it all to content creation, I think you have a real talent for it!

[caraage]

I really appreciate you sharing your experiences. As a new grad right now, the job market has been brutal, but it's oddly comforting to hear the positivity from someone who's also suffering because of the market right now. I hope your content creation endeavors are successful! It's inspiring me to start my own side projects instead of just waiting for something to happen. Good luck 👍

As a PM who got laid off twice in 2023, this was a thoroughly refreshing video. Thanks for opening up... I do wish I handled my laid offs a little better tbh :)

[miharin]

The way you handled everything is amazing, infact you being prepared, immediately being able to switch priorities is really impressive Chloe! Discord is going to regret their decision

[sweetiebjj]

i got laid off too back in august 2023 from a company i have been and love working there for 5 years
i know how it feels but we will get through it

onwards and upwards to better things! :) STAY POSITIVE CHOLE!!

[moonrise]

this channel will be a big source for me and everyone maneuvering life & career!!! LET’S GO CHLOE

[mixtwomimo]

Gosh im so envious of your parents. Mine wouldve instantly asked me what i messed up at work and how i probably deserved it 😂 maybe thats why youre radiating in positivity while ppl like us are struggling with finding joy in life haha

[Burn]

I like your outlook on things. It’s not the best situation but you’re choosing to be transparent and look on the bright side. When one door closes, another one opens. May good things come to you in 2024, you got this!

Also, your parents are funny lmao.

[iokei]

Twitch, Google, Activision, Riot, and now Discord. Oof. I just survived one myself, but I was laid off from my previous company in a similar fashion (without even severance pay ugh). It's a really tough experience and I'm wishing everyone going through it right now the best of luck. Remember it is totally okay to not be okay for a while. Do what you have to do to stay afloat and you will make it to the other side. Sending love <3

[hc]

It’s really inspiring to see how positive you are treating this change. Also kudos to you to shoot your shot on brand deals. You are transparent and understanding. Good luck!!

[edgykatrina]

only onwards and upwards chloe and also OMG FOSTER EXCITED FOR YOU

[anna.k.]

Coming back to this video after getting laid off, and listening to you calmed me down. I was lost and completely sad but now will just figure out what's next! (Dreading the interview prep :'))

[oliviainthecity]

Sorry that happened to you :( I was at Twitch during the first of its recent layoffs and empathize with how crazy and chaotic it is. So excited for this next chapter for you as a full time content creator though!

[wawis]

im sorry you are going thru this, i too hope it will be a blessing in disguise🙏
