How To Talk About Your Layoff Without Damaging Your Career
Layoffs eliminated over 221,000 jobs in Q1 2025, hitting government, tech, retail, accounting, ... More manufacturing and logistics sectors the hardest. Layoffs continue to impact a range of sectors with large-scale ripple effects, hitting government, tech, retail, accounting, manufacturing and logistics the hardest. More than 221,812 jobs were eliminated within the first quarter of the year. Economists at Deloitte have cited ongoing economic turmoil, federal funding cuts, tariffs, decelerated consumer spending, AI's widespread impact and cost-cutting measures as contributing factors. According to Clarify Capital's 2025 survey of 1,000 Americans, one in three people have anxiety about layoffs. Building job security and 'career insurance' for ourselves involves preparing for layoffs, including knowing how to talk about being laid off. Here are three tips to help you navigate this challenging situation—including 6 ways to discuss your layoff positively. When Layoffs Hit, Separate Role Elimination From Personal Performance The first thing to do is make sure you don't internalize your layoff as something that reflects poorly on you personally. Layoffs are business decisions that are fundamentally different from firing someone for poor performance. Mass layoffs impact multiple teams or departments—often stripping teams down to a 'skeleton crew' or eliminating them entirely. When layoffs occur across the board, companies are making structural changes—not assessing individual skill, ability or value. The first negotiation is with yourself: don't conflate the elimination of your role with personal performance issues. If you do, this will negatively impact how you position and present yourself for your next role. Take Time To Regroup Before Going Full-Force With Your Job Search You may feel the temptation to dive straight into a full-on job search. Resist that urge. If you don't take the time to process what happened and determine how you will intentionally move forward, you will continue to operate in a reactionary state of 'fight or flight,' which does not bode well for a successful job search. Take what time you can to regroup. Decide on a timeline and create a structure for this period of strategic reflection and planning to make the most of it. If you absolutely cannot take weeks to plan your next career moves, build in 'micro' breaks daily to process your emotions and avoid bottling them up. Even five or fifteen minutes a day to ground yourself and ensure that you don't internalize your layoff as a judgment on—or reflection of—you personally will help sustain your transition into your next role. Taking the time to prevent emotions from negatively impacting your job search will pay off as you transition into full-on job searching when it's time. How To Talk About Your Layoff When you share with your network that you're available for new opportunities, you don't need to mention the layoff unless the topic comes up naturally. However, if you're asked directly about why you left your previous role, be honest—never hide or lie about it. If you do discuss the layoff, frame it properly. Instead of saying, 'I was laid off,' or 'I was let go,' try: 'My role was eliminated as part of a company-wide restructuring,' 'My position was eliminated during a departmental reorganization,' or 'The organization underwent strategic changes that impacted multiple departments.' You can also reference business model changes or external forces: 'The company pivoted their business model and underwent a full reorg,' 'Due to industry changes, the company restructured several teams,' or 'The company underwent a merger and consolidated roles across departments.' The bottom line: layoffs reflect company-wide changes, decisions and shifts—not individual performance. Your Layoff Is Redirection, Not A Setback Layoffs have become an unavoidable reality in today's working world. While you can't control when they happen, you can still control your ability to process, respond and frame the experience of a layoff—both to yourself and to others. As anxiety-provoking and destabilizing as navigating layoffs may feel, what you offer the world through your efforts and labor is far greater than any one job or role. Sometimes external factors force our hand and push us toward opportunities that align better with our path. The unknown can be terrifying, even paralyzingly so. Yet it may also reveal possibilities that are perfectly suited to where you're meant to be—opportunities you might never have pursued otherwise.

AI In Ground Transportation: Hype, Hesitation And The Road To Value
Amiad Solomon is the CEO and Founder of HQ, a leading platform for corporate ground transportation. AI is transforming nearly every industry, but adoption has been cautious in corporate ground transportation. Despite a growing ecosystem of AI-powered solutions, that hesitation isn't unfounded: Ground transportation is complex, high-stakes and often resistant to change. From my experience working in this space, I've seen how these challenges can slow innovation, but also how AI can create opportunities to overcome those very issues. The potential is clear. AI is fundamentally improving how we move people safely, efficiently and intelligently. Success in this space, though, depends on strategically aligning AI solutions with a company's unique needs. Why AI In Ground Transportation Corporate ground transportation is riddled with inefficiencies. Bookings are often fragmented across cities, suppliers and regions. Invoices arrive late or with errors. Spend visibility is poor. Travelers deal with inconsistent experiences. Plus, travel managers often fly blind. AI can help address these issues by offering the ability to predict outcomes, prevent fraud and optimize processes. This isn't just theory. It's already happening. AI is helping some of the world's most complex enterprises move employees, executives and guests across cities and continents with greater precision and control. Here are a few use cases: • Optimization: AI can streamline routing and dispatch across geographies in ways no human team could manage manually. • Cost Control: Intelligent systems can detect anomalies, flag out-of-policy rides and recommend vendors based on real-time pricing. • Rider Safety And Satisfaction: AI-enhanced travel involves technologies designed to reduce delays, tailor services to individual needs and enable proactive communication. • Sustainability tracking: Algorithms can help reduce emissions by optimizing vehicle usage and recommending eco-friendly options. • Time savings: Automated invoicing, compliance checks and data reconciliation can reduce back-office load. Mitigating Risks: Responsible AI Integration As with any innovation, though, AI comes with valid concerns. Here are a few that are holding companies back from adoption: • Data Privacy And Security: AI relies on data—location, behavior, transactions. Mishandled, this raises compliance and trust issues. • Black-Box Decisions: When AI makes routing or billing decisions, leaders may not always understand how or why. • Integration Hurdles: Many organizations still rely on legacy tools that don't play well with new tech. • Change Management: Getting teams to trust and adopt AI tools requires training, communication and, sometimes, culture shifts. The key is not to blindly adopt AI, but to thoughtfully implement it with a strategy and guardrails in place: • Govern your data. Only collect what's necessary, and ensure transparency around how it's used. Ensure opt-in AI application. • Maintain human oversight. AI should support—not replace—decision-makers. Flag anomalies, but let people verify. • Insist on explainability. Opt for vendors whose algorithms provide clear reasoning behind key decisions. • Start small. Pilot AI for a single market or function (like invoice automation), learn, then scale. • Choose strategic partners. Your providers should understand regulatory, operational and reputational risks surrounding AI in transportation. These improvements are about control, compliance and confidence at scale. When done right, AI creates measurable value for everyone involved for both riders, travel managers and back-office teams. What Leaders Should Do Now AI in ground transportation won't solve every challenge overnight, but it can help leaders bring order to a deeply fragmented system, which is critical to business operations and employee experience. Here's where to start: • Audit your current ecosystem. Where are the gaps? What's manual, slow, or error-prone? • Align your stakeholders. Finance, IT, operations, travel—AI adoption requires cross-functional collaboration. • Assess your data. Clean, centralized data is fuel for effective AI. • Evaluate vendors based on transparency, security and scalability. • Lead the shift. Create a culture that's open to smart automation—not resistant to it. In this space, innovation doesn't mean moving fast and breaking things. It means moving smarter—and leading with intention.
