Welcome to the Layoff Beard blog!
When I got canned from my job a couple months ago, I didn’t lose hope. I just stopped shaving. Out of those first weeks of scruff, the idea for TheCanned.com was born. A couple months later, even the Wall Street Journal picked up the story.
A layoff beard is more than facial hair– a layoff beard is a state of mind. For millions of jobless, its a way of seeing the lighter side of unemployment. On this blog, we know how it feels to get canned, cut, downsized, made redundant, fired, laid off, axed, let go, and just plain shown the door. Together, we’ve knocked our heads together and come up with some solid information on getting back on your feet. This blog is for all the good stuff that doesn’t fit elsewhere on the site– humor, tips, tricks, commentary, etc.
We’re down, but definitely not out. We are The Canned.
