How Remote Workers Can Rebuild Their Network After Layoffs

In this episode of Remote Work Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a painful but all-too-common scenario: your company just laid off 20% of the team, and your professional network feels gutted. Lucas shares a specific strategy used by a former Twitter engineer who lost 80% of her internal contacts in the 2022 cuts and rebuilt her network from scratch using a systematic outreach framework. They discuss why the standard advice to 'just update your LinkedIn' is insufficient, how to audit your remaining connections for hidden bridges, and a practical three-step async process for rekindling dormant relationships without feeling transactional. Luna pushes back on whether this is just networking under a new name, and Lucas explains why layoff-era networking is fundamentally different — it's less about asking for favors and more about rebuilding your information supply chain. If you've been laid off or survived cuts and feel disconnected, this episode gives you a concrete playbook, not just platitudes. #RemoteWork #CareerAdvice #Layoffs #Networking #ProfessionalConnections #AsyncWork #HybridWork #DistributedTeams #CareerGrowth #JobSearch #LinkedIn #TechLayoffs #RelationshipBuilding #RemoteWorkers #WorkFromHome #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
