Out-of-Office Club | #5
We are the people who are currently out of office — by force, by choice, or by quiet rebellion. With the rare chance to build the next chapter on our own terms. This is a private club for everyone who pressed CMD+Q on the wrong life and now finally has the time to ask: “What the hell do I actually want?”
👑 WHO THIS CLUB IS FOR
The ones who just got fired: Laid off in the big waves, pushed out in the “restructuring,” or simply surplus to requirements.
The ones searching for purpose: You woke up and realised you don’t want to spend another decade optimising ad spend for fast fashion, training AI to replace humans, or helping billionaires get richer.
The ones who realised the job will never love them back: Toxic boss, glass ceiling, soul-crushing OKRs, or simply the quiet realisation that this industry, this role, this life is not it.
The ones who are just fed up: Close to burnout, already burned out, or simply shouted “FU” internally one too many times and walked out.
🫂 WHAT WE DO
We meet regularly on Wednesdays at 15:00 at Amano Hotel (Rosenthaler Platz; location might change in future) for a coffee in a cozy atmosphere and with a proven agenda that simply works.
What to expect:
Real talk about life after being out of the machine shame-free!
Brainstorming together, feeding each other with fresh thoughts and inspiration
Practical tips on navigating German bureaucracy (Agentur für Arbeit, Krankenkasse, Sperrzeit, etc.)
Setting real goals for the week and checking in kindly
Radical contact sharing: contacts, leads, opportunities shared freely
🦹🏽♀️ ABOUT THE HOST
Top business grad with fancy international corporate & consulting stints on the CV and content creator side hustle; now out-of-office for the second time in four years — once I quit the toxic hell, once the layoffs quit me. This time I’m refusing to panic-jump into the next disaster and actually using the pause to figure out what I really want. So hey, why don’t we do it together.
We’re not unemployed. We’re just between futures.
