Got laid off

[BPH]

Got laid off and it sucks. I have another part time job but it is nowhere near enough to support my living. I am taknig this time to focus on my passion so itll eventually help make me money. Any recommendations to not lose hope? Applying to a **** load of places everyday.

Start a business for yourself.

That's what I've been doing.

fvck no and employers know the job market is dog doodoo, so people with jobs are applying for jobs too.

I work in a restaurant. It's probably rough for everyone now

The current job market being crap started with white collar workers.

It's probably moved to restaurant workers now because white collar workers are cutting back spending and not going to restaurants.

I work in medicine and it's rough lol

The healthcare segment is supposedly booming right now. Aging Baby Boomers need a lot of medical services.

Medicine and healthcare are not the same thing.

Good Luck finding a new job, hopefully your next career is more fulfilling and lively than the previous. Use UnEmployment if you have to, and treat applying to different jobs as Your job for now.

I hope you told them to go fucck themselves on the way out the door.

Most of the time, layoffs are a reflection of a bad employer with inept upper management.

The upper manager firing you is often scum and a terrible person.

YouTube philosopher Aaron Clarey says that management absolutely hates its workers, and they wish they could fire almost all of them.

There’s no easy way to put it, this situation sucks, OP.

My back got so against the wall last year that I had no choice but to start thinking of various ways to produce and I stopped letting fear drive that thought process and I had a monster year as a result.

I am going to tell you what I told my brother: you are in the one position where you have the flexibility to make the best right next move for you, whatever that is. Some jobs may frown upon jumping around every year or less so, if you’re in one of those fields then you have the opportunity now to find something that is a long term good move for you, both immediately and also in longer term strategy.

I know it sounds easy to say, but I’ll share what my boss sent me the other day, ‘there are some situations that force you to level up and never turn back.’

Take calculated risk where you can. Throw your energy into something that makes you excited because it’ll power you through the times where you’re doing the same boring thing every day, (which is what success is, tinkering lightly, seeing the long view, and then driving energy into the same repetitive process to produce greater and greater results) which is where most people would tap out.

If this is vague I’m sorry but I hope it helps. Don’t every forget, take care of your health, your job and your family in that order, and you’ll figure it out.

YouTube philosopher Aaron Clarey is 100% correct about this.

There are so many organizations out there with inept managers with scumbag personalities. There are times upper level managers will terminate employees during probationary periods (first 3 months) even when the employees have not performed poorly. It's usually a reflection of an incompetent organization rather than the employee himself.

Gary Vaynerchuk (business type influencer) made a YouTube video recently where he discussed firing someone on the first day.

Welcome to human nature. The world is built on the premise that non-producers are always going to look to drive their wealth and power on the back of the producer. It’s as simply as the farmer on the back of the laborer to the board room overseeing the sales department to the presidency and the congress on the back of the economy to the scheming politburo behind the back of the king or premier leader. It’s been that way since day one and it’ll never change.

Use it to your advantage. Don’t play their game. Think of them as your protection. Let them be the face to the higher ups on your behalf. Let them look good. Let them take the bullets for you. Be the producer. Be content keeping your head down, make lots of money. You don’t have to be overly amorous or kiss a tremendous amount of tail. Do a great job and they will come to you because you justify their existence and you’re doing their job for them. Don’t ever try to be them or threaten their own situation. Just be a happy number two. If you end up starting your own business then so be it, and even then the rules apply just in a different context.

Groovy.

Have you (will you) consider joining the military?

When I was a young man and was down on luck, the military was a quick fix..and I've been using it as a stepping stone and reaping the benefits ever since, even after being discharged for almost 15 years.

im29 lmao. Pretty late. and id rather not tbh.

Trust yourself, OP, you got this.

I've been laid off and while it sucked, it also felt strangely liberating. Use it as an opportunity to reload and recalibrate.

Your future self knows how you'll get it done. Your brain won't let your body starve.

You know you've found success before, so you will find it again. Great things await.

Most of the time, a layoff demonstrates the incompetence of the organization doing the employee terminations.

It usually isn't a reflection upon the employee in any way.

It is liberating. Often times, the work environment prior to the layoff was terrible.

 

[Gamisch]

OP what field do you work in?

Start a business for yourself.

That's what I've been doing.

Glad to see someone says it.

Too many men got comfortable working for somebody who actually went/ goes through the trenches and takes the actual risk of running a business. Instead of taking that risk YOURSELF.

You gotta find a skill that allows you to work for yourself and simultaneously offer that service to people with money to spare...You gotta become a specialist with experience. That's where the real money is at.

At least everyone has to eat.

But not necessarily outside. When times are hard, ironically food expenses will be the first thing that people will cut.
