Got the news today. The whole content team, gone. Still processing it.
That was me in January. The first week is the worst — it does get lighter.
Whenever you're ready, I'll share the retraining plan that worked for me.
RestartCrew is a small, private support community for people navigating AI-driven job loss — laid off, worried about it, or adapting. Members who opt in are placed into private crews of 4–8 people in a similar profession and situation, formed manually by a real person rather than an algorithm. It is free to join, and you can participate anonymously.
RestartCrew isn't a feed of strangers. Here's exactly what happens after you sign up:
Share your profession and journey status — job search, worried about AI, or adapting — during a quick onboarding.
Check one box if you'd like to be placed in a small group.
Once there are enough people in your category, we manually put together a private crew of 4–8 people navigating something similar — no algorithm, no strangers added at random.
Your crew gets a private conversation to share, ask questions, and support each other, separate from the public forum.
No feeds tuned for engagement, no algorithm deciding who you meet. Just a few simple pieces built for support.
The heart of RestartCrew. A small, private group of people in a similar profession and situation, with its own conversation space away from the public forum.
Every crew is put together by hand — a real person, not a matching algorithm.
Choose to be anonymous or public. Your identity, your rules — no judgment either way.
Open discussion spaces organised by field, so you can compare notes with people in your exact line of work — writers, designers, support leads, analysts, and more.
Clear rules and human moderation keep this a respectful, supportive space: no mocking job loss, no doxxing, no harassment, no recruiting spam.

“After my role was automated, I didn't know where to start. Someone in my profession group shared a retraining path that actually worked. Six months later, I'm in a new role I love.”
— Data Entry Specialist
“The hardest part wasn't losing the job — it was the silence. Nobody around me understood what AI displacement feels like. This community changed that for me.”

You're not alone. RestartCrew is a new and deliberately small community of professionals affected by AI-driven job change — a place to share what you're going through, hear from people in the same position, and work out your next path together.
We are just getting started, and that is the point — every early member helps shape what this place becomes.
