How many times have you been laid off?

I’m in my 7th layoff before the age of 40 and I’m wondering how many more do I need to prepare for over the next 30 years? I work in business development/marketing.

1: Advertising Sales for a Magazine: No brainer, print is dead.

  1. Second largest company in my industry was bought by largest company in my industry, they relocated headquarters

  2. Startup - technically furloughed for a year

  3. Same Startup Round 2 - still technically furloughed after a decade. Still trying to get funding.

  4. Privately held company, ownership paid waaay to much for it from a PE and laid off highest paid employees to invest in equipment.

  5. 100 year old company was bought by 125 year old company - laid off corporate staff

  6. Scale up that had grown 300% in 3 years, just laid off 1/4 of work force due to mismanagement and no planning
