Last year, I was hanging out with some friends who’d recently been laid off and since. We were in an environment where putting together a Spotify playlist was appropriate, so created a “recently laid off playlist” and played it loud. This is not the first list I’ve made about the dreaded pink slip, but this one is a bit different. It’s kind of like that last ‘hoo-rah’… the last time around the track… a final farewell. So enjoy this list of songs (mostly just the titles, actually) for music you can play after you or someone you know has been laid off, fired, let go, downsized, or sent in a direction the company wasn’t going.
Songs for after being laid off or fired…
“Work From Home” – Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dolla $ign
“Don’t Talk to Me About Work” – Lou Reed
“I Want to Break Free” – Queen
“Life Ain’t Fair and the World Is Mean” – Sturgill Simpson
“Lord Have Mercy on the Working Man” – Travis Tritt
“Uprising” – Muse
“If We Make It Through December” – Merle Haggard
“Red, White & Pink Slip Blues” – Hank Williams, Jr.
“Gives You Hell” – The All-American Rejects
“Summertime Blues” – Alan Jackson
“The Crossroads” – Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
