Some criticized Asero's take,       while many more came to her defense, and called out similar issues with       the 40-hour workweek.              At the time, Asero told Business Insider in an email statement that she       was very grateful to have a job, but that "it is discouraging and       understandable why Americans are burnt out and mental illness levels are       high."              On December 16, Asero posted once again to TikTok and said she had been       laid off from her role, which she said had taken her five months to find       and she had moved to New York City for.              Asero said she had been let go from the start-up as they "didn't have the       workload or the bandwidth" to train her or give her the work she was hired       to do.              In an email statement to BI, she said the layoff had "absolutely nothing       to do" with her previous viral video, and said there were "no hard       feelings."              In her video, she said her former boss had praised her performance and she       expected a good reference.              Still, Asero told her followers she needed a new role by January 2, and       she wasn't optimistic about her chances given many companies would pause       recruiting over the holiday period.              She also listed all of her achievements including obtaining a degree,       working internships, and building a portfolio, but said she still found       the idea of re-entering the job application process daunting.              "I have done everything I possibly could have, and it's still not enough,"       she said.              Asero said she was considering getting a job as a nanny or a server while       she waited to see if she could find a new marketing role. She said she       barely had enough money to live on in her past 9-to-5 job, which meant she       had no savings to fall back on.              She's not alone — over 50% of Gen Zers don't have enough emergency savings       to last them three months, according to a survey conducted by Bank of       America earlier this year.              Asero's upload received 440,000 views and over 1,580 comments, many of       which sympathized with her position, including some who wrote they had       also been the subject of layoffs that impacted various industries this       year, and encouraged the TikToker to keep trying for a new position.              She told BI she made the video to connect with other people who had a       similar experience. "There's so many college graduates being laid off and       it's upsetting," she said.              The company Asero was listed as working for on her LinkedIn profile did       not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.                     --       We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem.
