Out-Of-Office Club | Launch
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 ⌘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
Every Monday 14:00 at OM Coffee & Brunch (Frankfurter Tor) – starting the week with a good feeling. Max. 15 people; No agenda forced from above — we shape it together in our first meeting.
But these things will happen:
Real talk, zero filter: How it really feels to be out of the machine
Remove the shame: Being OOO is rebranded as the most exclusive status of 2025
German bureaucracy survival: Collective Google Doc or Notion board with the latest Agentur für Arbeit hacks, Krankenkasse tricks, Sperrzeit workarounds, how to survive financially, etc.
Accountability without the corporate bullshit: We set real goals for the week (“finish the CV,” “finally launch the page,” “do nothing but heal for two months”) and check in kindly
Radical contact sharing: Investors, founders, cool companies, side-hustle clients — whatever you have, you drop in the group
Celebration of slowness: Sometimes we just drink coffee and admit the world is on fire and that’s okay.
🦹🏽♀️ 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.
PS: One coffee-drink of your choice and shared pastries are included in the fee.
