Is it normal to be disgruntled after a layoff?

I got laid off my IT role for a biggish MSP firm, they just called some people to say they had difficult measures to take, I was one of those people…

So a month and so later, I’m still searching and I just feel bitter and jaded, I’m not getting calls back.

Is it perfectly normal for me to feel this way about companies? I’m still confident I can try to get back into it from this setback but I just feel these firms no matter what industry they are, are utterly void of any camaderie.

Am I going insane?

(TLDR - Bitter Bri’ish guy who’s just asking if being infuriated with this isn’t like a mental disease)

    This is what I was taught.

    You’ve got 24 hours in a day. The time you spend being angry is time you’re not doing something constructive.

    If being upset actually helps motivate you, then revel in it.

    If it hinders you, realize that being productive is the best way to screw the ones who fired you.
