Engineer shares viral video of father's support after JPMorgan layoff

Kaish Ansari, a data engineer previously employed at JPMorgan in Glasgow, Scotland, has gained online attention after sharing a video of his reaction to being laid off. Originally from Gorakhpur, India, Ansari documented the emotional conversation with his father regarding the job loss.

Ansari stated that he shared the footage not to seek sympathy, but to provide encouragement to others facing professional setbacks, job rejections, or financial uncertainty. He emphasized that a layoff is “one event in your career, not the end of your career” and should not be viewed as a reflection of an individual's worth. His father's calm and motivational response served as a central element of the viral moment, highlighting the importance of familial support during career transitions.
