Last year in May, I was wiped up by the 5% mass layoffs from CrowdStrike after just four months of working there.

And the whole experience was pretty insane.

I had just joined the weekly team meeting at 8.30 a.m.

There were quite a few people missing,

and then also everybody looked like they were about to cry.

And so immediately I was like,

oh man, what's going on?

I checked my Outlook email,

and then I saw the calendar,

had an invite for the VP of engineering at like,

I forget what time it was,

or sometime in the morning.

And yeah, obviously as a software engineer level one,

you're never meeting with the VP of engineering for a good reason.

And so I immediately knew something bad had happened.

I'm sure some of you have experienced this before,

but when I saw that calendar invite appear on my Outlook,

I just remember my heart rate like absolutely skyrocketing.

That is the most stress I've ever been in my whole life.

Like nothing can even compare to that,

like no testing college, no, nothing like that.

So my heartbeat was just going insane.

It felt like I couldn't really hear anything.

I just felt this complete sense of like dread and doom

and like just yeah just complete devastation

because it felt like what I had been working for all those years in college

and then you know leaving my prior job after just one

year being there to get to this point it just felt like all

that had just come crashing down within you know just two minutes of joining the meeting.

So I messaged my manager who was in the Zoom meeting and I said hey check out this calendar invite

looks like I'm getting laid off.

He said, send me a screenshot.

I sent it over.

And then he basically said,

yeah, that's what it looks like.

Let me know if you want to hop on Zoom and discuss.

The Zoom meeting with my manager was pretty short.

It basically just consisted of him telling me,

you know, sorry, this is happening.

And then I asked, was there anything I could have done to secure my spot or made a difference in this decision?

And he basically said, no,

you know, I've only been there four months.

It's not like I could work on something high impact.

I had pretty much just finished onboarding,

especially as a software engineer level one.

and my feedback on the team so far has been great.

So after the meeting with my manager,

I pretty much just had to sit

and wait for a little bit until the actual meeting with the VP of engineering was going to start,

AKA layoff time.

And so when that started, it was pretty weird.

I thought I was going to have a chance to talk to HR,

maybe ask to be repositioned within the org or something along those lines,

but that was not the case basically all 500 of us got dumped into a Zoom webinar so we couldn't even chat,

no reactions, no one-on-one contact obviously because they're laying off so many people at one time.

And so the VP of engineering was there with whoever from HR was there.

Together they basically told us you know,

effective immediately you're being laid off.

Thank you and there's nothing else to really say so let's end the meeting here.

And I don't know if any of you guys have watched Succession

but it really reminded me of when Greg laid off like an entire team at ATN.

Not sure if you guys get that reference,

but that's really what it felt like in that moment.

It was almost so bad it was comical.

So I messaged one of my friends on the team that I talked to the most and I said,

hey this is what's going on and being laid off and he was like, no way.

And we were doing a little bit of communication.

I got his phone number just as a contact and then right as I was messaging him to say,

hey could you see my LinkedIn and the Slack channel,

my computer went black, everything shut down

and my laptop was basically completely bricked within like two minutes of the 500 person webinar meeting.

So then I had to text message him and say,

you know, hey, I just got locked out of my computer.

Could you send my LinkedIn in the Slack channel,

which luckily I was working on a pretty large team.

So it hit a lot of people and he agreed.

Once my LinkedIn got posted in that channel,

a lot of people reached out,

which was really nice to see.

Basically some of them were just saying,

you know, so sorry, this happened, doesn't make any sense.

And then others were saying,

you know, I'll reach out on my network and see

if there's any job openings I can find for you or refer you to anything.

So I'm super grateful to everybody who reached out to me

and especially the person who sent my LinkedIn in the channel for me after getting locked out.

And I was super lucky that somebody senior on the team reached out to me and said,

hey, so sorry this happened, doesn't make any sense.

I have a friend who has a startup and,

you know, let me know if you'd be interested in that position.

I obviously said yes immediately.

I said, let me send you my resume,

my information, and you can forward this over to them and they can get in touch with me.

One thing I want to note here before I keep going on about the layoff experience is

that I was extremely lucky in my position when I got laid off.

Not only did I get referred to that startup,

which I did end up working for and I'm still working for now part-time,

I also had another AI startup that I was already talking to that I was able to fall back on as well.

But yeah, that's basically all I wanted to say before moving on to the rest of the layoff stuff.

100

So going back to my layoff experience,

101

what's crazy is that before the layoff happened,

102

I think it might have been less than a month before I was having lunch with my manager

103

and he was just you know asking me where's my head

104

at you know what am I thinking how things have been

105

so far and I remember telling him

106

that I feel like I'm in a race against time here

107

you know junior level roles seems like they're getting slashed you know all across the U.S just worldwide

108

and I was basically saying you know with the advent of AI regardless of whether it's truly boosting productivity

109

or not seems like that's the direction companies are moving in

110

and so it just feels like I'm in a race to basically get promoted before I get cut.

111

And he told me something along the lines of,

112

yeah, it's possible, but ideally,

113

that wouldn't happen here because,

114

you know, the company needs to invest in the future.

115

And if we only hire senior engineers,

116

then what are we going to do,

117

you know, in 10 years time when they all leave?

118

And that wasn't very reassuring to me.

119

And it turned out to be not true.

120

So it's just kind of strange having that exact conversation about me being replaced by AI.

121

And then, you know, CrowdStrike releases an email basically saying we're laying off people because of AI efficiencies.

122

And what's super ironic about this whole situation is that,

123

you know, I'm being told I'm being laid off by AI, productivity boosts, basically.

124

But, and I want to be careful here saying this,

125

when I joined, I was pretty much the only one on the team,

126

you know, being young, that had any experience with,

127

you know, AI development tools like,

128

you know, cursor, cloud code, codex, et cetera.

129

And none of them had really seen it before when I was talking to them about it at lunch and they,

130

you know, were super interested once I showed them,

131

you know, videos of it and things like that.

132

And then I actually poked around and found the internal AI company tool,

133

which I won't go into too much detail,

134

basically just think about it like Copilot, nothing special, right?

135

Like they're always behind on the tooling because they have to develop it internally at these large companies.

136

And then I showed it to the team.

137

I gave a pretty, you know,

138

big presentation to the team during one of the meetings

139

and then they all started using it more and more and

140

so it's just funny to me

141

that you know I'm being told I'm being laid off by AI

142

when I'm the one who's kind of showing the team the power of it

143

so that pretty much concludes my whole layoff experience um

144

and my you know kind of quick life update on my current job situation

145

which you know again super grateful and super lucky to be in this position

146

but what I will say is

147

that it's pretty shocking well honestly at this point it's not

148

shocking like it's just crazy to see you know it felt like to me when Crosshack laid off 500 people,

149

that felt insane because after,

150

you know, there was a spreadsheet of all the people who got laid off

151

and I was just scrolling through it and I was like, this is insane.

152

Senior engineers, principal engineers, staff engineers,

153

just full of high level people that just got wiped out probably after like 10 years of being at the company.

154

And, you know, especially now after seeing the Amazon layouts,

155

which is 16,000, which I can't even fathom.

156

It's just pretty insane how these layouts just keep on coming.

157

So, you know, let me know in the comments

158

if you have any questions about my experience

159

and you know let me know if you guys have gone through anything similar thanks for watching

इस वीडियो से बोलने का अभ्यास क्यों करें?

इस वीडियो में एक सॉफ़्टवेयर इंजीनियर के रूप में चार महीने की नौकरी के बाद नौकरी से निकाले जाने का अनुभव साझा किया गया है। यह एक गंभीर और तनावपूर्ण स्थिति है, जो न केवल पेशेवर जीवन बल्कि व्यक्तिगत जीवन पर भी तनाव डाल सकती है। जब आप किसी ऐसे मौके पर बोलते हैं, जहाँ इमोशनल ऐंगल शामिल होता है, तो आप और भी प्रभावशाली तरीके से संवाद करने का अभ्यास कर सकते हैं। इस वीडियो का अनुसरण करने से, आप न केवल वर्तनी और उच्चारण में सुधार कर सकते हैं, बल्कि अपनी भावनाओं को व्यक्त करने के तरीके में भी निपुणता हासिल कर सकते हैं। इसलिए, इस स्थिति में बोलने का अभ्यास करना बेहद महत्वपूर्ण हैं, खासकर यदि आप यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें कर रहे हैं।

व्याकरण और अभिव्यक्तियाँ संदर्भ में

“I just joined”: यह एक सामान्य वाक्यांश है जो किसी नई स्थिति में प्रवेश करने के लिए प्रयोग किया जाता है।
“I was wiped up”: यहाँ यह अभिव्यक्ति “dismissed” के संदर्भ में है, जो नौकरी से निकाले जाने की स्थिति को प्रस्तुत करती है।
“my heart rate skyrocketing”: यह एक सेहत संबंधी अभिव्यक्ति है, जो तनाव की भावना को दर्शाती है।
“I asked, was there anything I could have done”: यह अभिव्यक्ति विचारशीलता को उजागर करती है और दिखाती है कि व्यक्ति अपना भाग्य समझने की कोशिश कर रहा है।

इन अभिव्यक्तियों का प्रयोग करके, आप बेहतर ढंग से संवाद कर सकते हैं और परिस्थिति के अनुसार अपने भावनात्मक स्तर को प्रकट कर सकते हैं। अंग्रेजी शैडोइंग का अभ्यास करने से, आप इन वाक्यांशों का सही उच्चारण और स्थानीय उपयोग समझ सकते हैं।

सामान्य उच्चारण के जाल

वीडियो में कुछ ऐसे शब्द और वाक्यांश हैं, जिनका उच्चारण करते समय आपको सावधान रहना चाहिए। जैसे:

“wiped up”: इसे ठीक से उच्चारित करना जरूरी है क्योंकि यह एक विशेष स्थिति को व्यक्त करता है।
“skyrocketing”: यह एक कठिन शब्द है, जिसमें सुनने में कठिनाई हो सकती है।
“devastation”: इसके उच्चारण में ध्यान दें, क्योंकि यह गहन भावनात्मक स्थिति को दर्शाता है।

इन शब्दों का shadow speak अभ्यास करना न केवल आपकी उच्चारण क्षमता में सुधार करेगा, बल्कि आपकी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमता को भी बढ़ाएगा। shadowspeak का सही प्रयोग करके, आप अपनी भावनाओं और विचारों को अधिक स्पष्टता से व्यक्त कर सकते हैं।

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	was wiped · be repositioned · being laid
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है	have experienced · I've ever been · I've only been
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	person who sent · friend who has · people who got

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
