Brielle catapulted to TikTok fame in October 2023 when she shared a heartfelt video expressing her frustrations about juggling life with her first 9 to 5 job. The video resonated with many who found themselves stuck in a similar loop, caught between the demands of work and the desire for a fulfilling personal life. However, fast forward to December 2023, and Brielle delivered an unexpected update to her followers, revealing that she no longer had a job. The rollercoaster of emotions continued as Brielle shared the news of her layoff in a TikTok posted on December 14, 2023. “I’m not going to sit here and cry, but I got laid off from my first post-grad job and the one that took me five months to find, that I moved to New York City for," Brielle revealed in a candid moment.

Brielle detailed her experience of working at a startup where the challenges of adapting to the fast-paced environment proved insurmountable. Despite her willingness to learn and take on more responsibilities, the startup's limitations became evident as they lacked the bandwidth to provide adequate training and tasks. The unexpected layoff hit Brielle hard, particularly because it occurred right before the holidays. With hiring processes on pause until January 2024, the prospect of securing a new job immediately seemed daunting. Brielle shared her concerns about the time it would take to re-enter the workforce, highlighting the financial strain during the holiday season.

“The job that I was working 9 to 5, I wasn’t making enough to live," she disclosed, shedding light on the harsh reality that many individuals face when their salaries fall short of covering basic living expenses.

Users chimed in, echoing concerns about the diminishing guarantees of employment post-college. “At this point, college doesn’t guarantee a job like it used to," one user commented, reflecting the shifting dynamics of the job market. Another user, holding a Master's degree, supported Brielle's claim about struggling to make enough money to sustain a decent standard of living.
