About a month into his new job as a marketing coordinator this year, Nygel Jonesmulled writing a celebratory post on LinkedIn. Having been laid off twice in the past three years, though, he hesitated, fearing he might jinx the new gig. Jones eventually sent the post, which said that “after a year of uncertainty, it’s nice to have a moment of relief.”

The moment didn’t last long.
