I got laid off from my career position, so I am bootstrapping!

So on the morning of May 12, 2022, I woke up to a basecamp notification in which I was informed that I was being let go from my day job as a video creator for a WordPress Software company. The reason was not specific but they were kind enough to pay me a month's salary to cover living expenses and get employed again.

I am currently in the process of tweaking my developer resume so I can try to land job opportunities with WPEngine, Nelnet, Accenture, and other job leads I have on deck.

In the meantime, I am bootstrapping a consulting agency that focuses on video and podcasting. More to come, God-willing by next week Monday.

did they do it just like that? :/ I am sure everything will be OK!
