Reboot 05 | LU1 - Sales, Sass, and Severance: Angela Unfiltered

Send us a text

Angela Delk joins The Reboot Era and does not hold back. A seasoned software sales pro turned digital artist, Angela takes us through the highs, the lows, and the straight-up WTF moments of her layoff journey—from inequitable quotas and being gaslit in meetings, to launching her bold new art brand after nine months of job-hunting frustration.

We talk:

• The real reason behind some layoffs (and the corporate spin that follows)
• Why “just rewrite your résumé” is the most tone-deaf advice ever
• Unfair quota distribution and what happens when you actually speak up
• Launching a creative career while jobless and stressed—but somehow more at peace
• Petty HR processes, soulless rejection emails, and the art of painting your wall with wine

No music. No filters. Just two layoff survivors gossiping like it’s happy hour with a severance check.
