Workers are using TikTok to get job-search tips, connect with recruiters and, most importantly, vent
"People go online because they want to have this sense of camaraderie or connection with other people," says Angela Hall, a professor of human resources and labor relations at Michigan State University.
If not for connection, viewers may flock to these layoff reaction TikToks hoping to calm their own anxieties about layoffs."The same way we like to watch horror movies, when you see something horrible happening [onscreen], it helps you demystify it and get over your own fears of it," says Hall. Seeing one of your biggest fears play out for someone else"softens the whole idea of it" and allows you to see that you could handle it, too.
There's been a professional benefit, too: Recruiters will comment on videos inviting Hernandez, and anyone else in the comments, to connect on LinkedIn or apply for a job at their company.
