Two years ago I was laid off over a Zoom call. Angry, lost, no idea what to do next.
Didn't know when to file for EI. Didn't know if my severance was fair. Didn't know fractional work was even an option.
So I built something to help.

@coolcoder56 Getting laid off is even tougher on senior employees who may have worked only ay one place...
Whose helping them? Whose thinking about how to get them back into earning an income.
We're trying: https://t.co/ASJpkbNscv
@ManyBeenRinsed We built something to try and help. Its rough out there....
EI, Severance, fractional work to bridge income, finding a new job.
Hope it helps someone: https://t.co/ASJpkbNscv
1/ We've spent a lot of time talking to people going through career transitions. Not just surveys, but real conversations.
Here's what nobody tells you.
4/ That's why we built Harbour around three stages. Because it's not a generic playbook.
Anchor = stabilize. Runway, severance, EI, clarity.
Equip = build. Resume, skills, a practice, an offering.
Sail = move. Apply, connect, find clients, negotiate.
@ShaziGoalie Believe me, we've been thinking about this a lot. Where do people go when the current resources aren't working?
EI eventually runs out, career coaches are expensive, job boards are flooded, the list goes on. There has to be a better way. We're trying to build it.
4/ That's Harbour. We built this for the transition you didn't plan for and the chapter you didn't know was possible.

Here's why we're building Harbour (a thread from our Cofounders) 🧵
1/ Most career transition platforms were built for volume. Push the resume. Apply to 100 jobs. Hope something sticks.
@PierrePoilievre Couldn't imagine losing a job in a market like this. It's a specific kind of hard. The roles that fit you aren't moving, and the ones that are moving feel like a step backwards. We're building a solution for those in career transition. Come find us → https://t.co/ASJpkbNscv
