[@waggermama]

I’m sorry you’re going through this, I hope seeing your family gives you some much needed comfort ❤

[@tokikani]

Julia what a tough time this is, sounds like there’s more going on in the background as well. Thank you for sharing both the ups and downs of your life, I hope you have a lovely and restorative time with your family!

[@haleyfranker]

I'm so sorry you've been dealing with the stress of layoffs and how it effects your friends and coworkers. Such a scary time, especially so close to the holidays. I hope you're able to take a breath and enjoy your vacation and family time, and not worry too much about work. ❤

[@judys7207]

I am so sorry you’re going through tough times at the moment. It’s good you’ll be spending time with family. Being around them is so important. Have a wonderful time with family and try not to worry. You are a young and talented person, you’ll bounce back from anything.

[@alanrutherford5724]

Thank you for your vlog, for your honesty and vulnerability. Your photography is beautiful, your filmed and printed thoughts are like an intimate conversation. It feels as if you pulling us closer so you can whisper in our ear, telling us your innermost hopes and aspirations, your fears and worries. And we all want only the best for you.

[@indomispicynoodles]

Hope you’re doing better it must have been tough going through everything🙌

[@thereversepolarbear]

Have a wonderful time Julia - I think your approach to work is very healthy. Its so important to have second income streams and outside interests, and keeping sort of a distance from work. You going to Asia for a month is a perfect example.

[@carolinehenson5505]

hi julia, i’m so sorry that you’re going through a tough time at work. so glad to hear that you weren’t laid off. i hope that you get to spend some wonderful time with family 💛💛💛💛 sending you hugs

[@umgirassol]

I'm sorry for the difficult time you're going through, Júlia. I hope everything gets better, it's just a phase, believe it. Enjoy your family and get strong with them. A virtual hug for you too S2

[@hkcharmer]

Sending good vibes your way! Really glad you decided to post the vlog anyways though it wasn’t as “content creator happy and exciting,” there are also lows in life that folks often forget.

[@hilsbeasley539]

Have a lovely time with your family, and hopefully you'll soon begin to relax. xx

[@kaskahea1274]

Keep healthy and strong Julia. Glad you’ll be spending the holidays away from work & NYC environment. 🤍 🙏🏽

Not you saying “like sardines” as I was eating sardines on toast. I’m so sorry the layoffs were so stressful. I can only imagine. You are brilliant at your job. Spotify is literally what saves me. It’s the only bill I pay every month where I think, “Yep. With every penny.” I joined in 2010, and my listening time was 48,609 minutes in 2023 (more now since the wrap-up). Seems low. ♥️ All day every day, in the car/at home/at work.

[@bday3406]

Take care of yourself! Bad days/hard feelings are bound to occur. That's what being human is all about! Your videos are very authentic 😊 thanks for sharing your life. And i sooo enjoy your videos. ❤ thanks J!

[@pacianegumbi9771]

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable moment in your life. I can't imagine it being easy. Good thing you will be able to spend some time with family for a bit. Keep well🌻

[@TheMisschrisaz]

I was worried for you when the news came out about the layoffs. I’m so happy to hear your job was not affected. I’m looking forward to your China vlogs 🙂 I’m sorry you’re going through some sadness and struggles right now so hopefully this trip will help just what you need. 🥰

[@MarshaCampbell-f5z]

Very sad and troubling but your emotions are real and the situation out of your control. One step at a time, you can only work with what’s at hand and for now that is being with your family, their love and support will get you through and bring balance. Your KZbin community and dear friends will be rooting for you, praying for you. You are a young, talented and resourceful young lady…the best is yet to come. Blessings & safe travels. Enjoy your time off. Sending a truckload of hugs your way 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@rmoorefla]

Perfect timing for travel and to reconnect with family in China. Although you're still quite mysterious regarding your boyfriend, hopefully he's making the journey with you. So looking forward to the travel content. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024!

[@JSH1994]

I love your vlogs! :) I feel like a have a friend in the city that I have never met in person. I live in the East Village area and I always see places that I walk by in your vlogs. My family also lives abroad so I can relate to your feelings. Have a good time with your family!!!

[@chioma6332]

I just love your content so much! It’s so relatable and a breath of fresh air especially when I feel like I’m going through a similar feeling or situation. Your trip couldn’t be more perfect in timing with all that’s going on on your side. Enjoy! And can’t wait for the China content!✨

[@HeatherBellez]

The layoffs are so scary to hear about because I am a tech student trying to just get my foot internet eh door. I did apply for a few jobs at Spotify and was pushed through referral but I am not holding my breath on that now :(

[@wilsonjevin]

Same here. I’m worried about layoffs and longevity with how advanced AI has been getting.

[@Tassie85]

I have had days, weeks, months like this and it is very hard to keep going. I am sure a month in Asia with your family will be recuperative and, hopefully, fun. Happy Holidays from Toronto!

[@richardottley4611]

Sorry for all of this sad news.. it really is sad to be laid off around this time of the year.. 😔😔

[@sunshinemindset8497]

Sending you lots of love, Julia ❤

[@jennifergraham9679]

Enjoy your trip and enjoy your family time.

[@liliansmeenge3297]

Hi Julia, I’ve followed you for quite some while now and I notice you quite often have hard/stressful times with your job. I know the career and money are cool but is it really worth it? Does it make you happy? There are jobs that give much more peace and less stress… just what I think to notice through the screen… Enjoy your holiday!

[@naturalliving2011]

I know the feeling.

[@sophial.4488]

Where did you get the second silky dress? I love that one!

[@theresacolosimo3523]

Have a wonderful and safe trip. Happy holidays to you and your family. So sorry for all of the work trauma, it is difficult to see friends leaving the workplace where we all spend so much of our lives.

[@amyfaurote1488]

Hard. Hang in there 💪 peace 🕊️

[@jennacalandramusic]

i was laid off from a marketing agency that was a brand new startup. i was their marketing manager for only a week and a half and i kept thinking i did something wrong. they were just on a budget and they were trying to keep a goal of budgets for paychecks for every employee. they couldn’t afford to pay newer employees which is the most kind of ridiculous thing i’ve heard. i understand their business and policies, but i was laid off and i had to find another marketing agency job for marketing management.

[@kathyabdo5837]

Did you name the Thai place that you love? I missed it.

[@bebeerin]

really clickbait-y titling since you weren't actually one of the ones that got laid off at spotify and aren't leaving nyc permanently just for a vacation. not a cool first introduction to new viewers that you tried to reach like me. when you click on a video based on the title, you don't expect to be totally misled. not a good way to get new viewers to stick around. you should've left out the "preparing to leave nyc" or wrote that differently. you knew what you were doing

[@jassyyy_56]

does not getting laid off mean you can’t talk about it? also if you care to watch her other videos she does a lot of cleaning around the house so essentially she is prepping her place to leave. there are so many other KZbinrs who use even more click baity titles. if you don’t like her video you don’t have to watch it

She is preparing to leave nyc? Facts. And she didnt say she was laid off by spotify? The title clearly states spotify layoffs, which is exactly what happened. The title is not “LAID OFF BY SPOTIFY”

wow 17%.......problem is unfortunately...more layoffs coming in MORE companies...especially NYC...big changes in 2024..Bon Voyage

Hey, this title was clickbait-y. Generally like your content, but dont appreciate this title.

[@nopenopenopenopenopers]

You didn't get laid off. You need to keep perspective here.

[@nickyfinn7909]

Did you say 70% or 17%?

[@ungravity9344]

according to the news on the internet, they said 17%

Sorry i did not understand, what happend at work? Poeple got fired? Or choose to leave?

[@Turtle22124]

they had another round of layoffs at her company. She is still working but had to say goodbye to some of her friends and coworkers

[@lilsheba1]

Ok being let go is NOT the same as being laid off, it's two separate things. On that note I am amazed spotify lays off anyone, they are making so much money and we already know they don't pay hardly anything to the artists for streaming. This is nuts.

[@jdp486]

They're the same.

[@digupherbon3s]

It’s the same

[@newgwala]

i think u mean being fired is not the same as being laid off
