Been self employed my entire life. Close to 65. Worked as an independent contractor for corporate America. I screwed them every chance I got! When I billed the crooks!
I was laid off once for no cause and the company tried their best to do it just one or two days before I had been there a year. I was at home sick and they actually called me to ask that I come into work while sick....so they could fire me. Of course, I found this extremely strange to be asked to come in while sick so I did not go. Once I returned, I was let go. Companies are cruel. NEVER trust you are safe. NEVER trust any other employees.
I know it's a lot to take in as younger person. I'm 45, I've been laid off a few times, flat out fired a couple times. After a few times you get pretty cynical about it unfortunately. I'm a director myself, I make good money, have a nice career, get along with my coworkers. But I'm not mistaken by any means, I know if I were to get fired tomorrow NONE of my coworkers are paying my bills. No one is coming to put clothes on my kids backs. A year or so later I probably won't even remember half their names or recognize them at a store. I make friends outside of work. I never let my job be WHO I am either. If I get fired tomorrow I'm not crushed because my entire identity is wrapped into being with them. It's just a place I go to to make money so I can live my real life when I'm not there. That's it.
I got laid off at june ever since then, I implemented a detailed budgeting strategy, tracking every expense and setting clear spending limits across all categories. In just six months, I saved over $60,000, giving me a strong sense of financial security and the ability to invest in my future. This approach has transformed the way I manage money, and I now feel more confident than ever about achieving my long-term goals.
The strategy was all thanks to Lorrie Greta Hillard, a brilliant financial advisor. She helped me create a personalized budgeting plan, track my expenses, and prioritize savings effectively. Her expertise made all the difference in reaching my financial goals
When I go laid off very long time ago I felt weird unwanted. I walked around till I snap out of It knowing that somewhere else my spirit and me can be accepted and find a purpose to be busy again in. A day.
Liz you're young, it's not the end of the world. You can start making a living from social media, door dash ect. We live in an era where we can make our own money at our pace. Sending nothing but love. ❤🙏
If you are looking for "genuine connections" in the workplace, you are barking up the wrong tree. Some companies have endless "team-building" exercises to make you love your colleagues more than your family. Don't fall for it. It is a paycheck...nothing more. Work friends is an oxymoron. It is neither good nor bad, it just is. Know this, and get on with your life.
There may be a variety of reasons behind a lay-off or firing. The company may be doing poorly financially. It is happening. A new manager may want to bring in someone from their circle. You may be ousted by some not-so-nice co-workers. Most importantly...do not take it personally...although it may be personal, in some instances. Collect unemployment, revise your resume...and start the hunt. Take a breath. Look forward to a New Beginning!
Kiddo, I work from one lay off to the next. That's why I'm building a liferaft with youtube and writing novels. Once I build that big enough, lay offs won't really matter. Find your side hustles (yes, more than one). It's your insurance policy against these things.
I had a lot of prior knowledge about what I discussed in this video, but this was my first time experiencing it firsthand. That experience gave me a completely new perspective, which I felt compelled to share with others who might be going through something similar for the first time. This video wasn’t created with the intent to educate, it’s more of a snapshot of my thoughts in the moment. Do you ever take the time to reflect on the current state of the world? It’s fascinating how many unexpected thoughts can surface when you do. Thankfully, our minds are incredibly forgiving, allowing us to revisit and rethink things from fresh perspectives.
Hi there, I'm Catholic. As a Christian Id say God is just making it clear to you that the path you were on is not what God wants for you. I would view that as a blessing though it may not seem like it right now.
I worked at a bank and I absolutely hated it. I'd rather just settle for a job that's nothing to brag about, maybe not make as much money, so I have the time to do what I want. I feel like I get judged but whatever. I sold an oil painting that made it into a juried show and it made me feel happy.
Bro do Uber, Lyft and if you don't want to deal with passengers. Do Door dash,Uber eats, Grub hub, amazon flex, Senpex, Airspace & Go Share. You don't have to deal with a boss and work when you want.
Hang in there Liz. There is always something positive to draw out of every situation, even the "bad" ones. Learn from it and move on. You will be just fine.
Great video! I went through the same thing and made a video about it too. I think there are no coincidences- the universe will always lead you to where you are supposed to be. Know that you are valuable and will excel in your next role even if it’s not how you expected. Best wishes!!
@@johnnydchang Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. It’s nice hearing from someone that’s going through something similar. Wishing you the best on your journey too!
teach english in south korea like my white female high school classmate. all her rent and accommedation is paid for. she gets like $4000 usd a month tax free. they love americans in asia.
20+ year techie. I've been laid off once from a big corporate last year who wanted to save money and I've been fired twice from startups, once early in my career because I messed a deployment that cost them some investment and the second time much much further in my career clashing with the CEO multiple times over technical decisions. I am in it for the long run so you learn to just get a roughneck and just roll with the punches. You become desensitised to it.
I think you became complacent and comfortable in corporate and now disillusioned. You lost your way and forgot what and why. First, you get a 9 to 5 because you need the money to live in our system. Unless you are a trust fund baby, where will you get money to pay for your existence? In our system, you need to work x number of years to feed into a pension fund and social security so by age 65 you can stop finally working. If you want insulation from bring layed off, target and settle for a government job. Corporate jobs are all unstable because they move based on profit and losses. Or get a skill or profession that is necessary where you want to live, so you make money by yourself and be your own system. Relationships and friends are sustained by money. If you and your coworkers are layed off, who pays for the beer? Rent or mortgage. Its that simple. No money, no honey. I got laid off, too. I also got disillusioned. I don't want to work in the corporate system and get layed off again. It is heartbreaking to lose your job. Its like being expelled from family. I didn't get a job again. Instead, I build my own system. I dont work for money. I make money work for me. Instead of me working for a corporation to make them money. I make a corporation work for me to make me money. I don't work 9 to 5. I think 24/7.
I just got laid off Monday. Crazy how you video popped up in my feed. I am going to make a video now describing my story lol. It's almost your exact situation.
It just means, never get too comfortable with whatever your situation is… life has a way of throwing curb balls at you. Once you understand that everything in life has a start and eventually an end, makes it easier. Economically, the US isn’t doing well. Many layoffs and “restructurings” are happening because the economy is sick. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates too high for too long, these companies run on debt. And the Fed making interest rates high is cutting into profits, EBITA, and other corporate metrics that the company needs to hit, If sales are down it’s because people & businesses aren’t buying products, then they have to lay people off. Why are people not buying??? Because people can’t afford anything because interest rates are high, higher interest rates affect everything we do in this country. it’s all a vicious cycle. The Jobs report for October 2024 was abysmal at only 12,000 jobs added for the month. We’re entering into scary times, but this debt based system that the United States has is going come to an end. It cannot go on like this anymore. People need to get ready for what’s coming next. Economic depression.
Wow!! This happens to me too. I don't even say the right company's name when people ask me where I work. Anything good that I talk about to other people.... does get taken away from me 🙁
Here is some insight some companies only plan to keep your certain amount of time like a cycle and they never tell you they’re wicked like that unfortunately
well, you did get the job for a reason and you got laid off for a reason. God has a purpose and reason for everything. i think people can get a little cooky about numbers...like numerology. Reading things into numbers. It is wild that you start a jo and got laid off on the same day of the year, but what-ever. i think it points to God working behind the scenes, more than anything else!❤
Yes, 11/11 is significant, both at the entrance, as well as the exit. Keep seeking God and He will direct your steps. We are headed into chaotic economic times not experienced since the Great Depression and only God can navigate us through the coming turbulence.
You can spritualize just about anything: any wins and any lose! Even no answer can be spiritualized. But we, as long as I've been alive, have no sufficient evidence for the claim. I think life happens I sincerely hope things get better for you though!
Yes, you're correct. There's definitely a strong spiritual meaning to that, I mean think about it. There's 365 days in a year, meaning there's 364 other days when it could have happened 😳... Also, you're 100% correct about that as well. When I was finishing high School I already knew I would not be able to work for anyone else. So I spent all my time working towards being able to start my own business.
There is NO meaning...its the business cycle you ignorant .....please STOP trying to look for fantasitical reasons as to why or when normal things happen. It makes us all look bad. There is no divine, no plan, no gods, no devils....its just life.
LOL. Welcome to adulthood young lady. It happens to many, many people and it has for dozens of decades. It's called being a grown up and having to pay your own bills and navigating difficult times, and I'm NOT knocking you; it's life. It's happened to me more than once and quite literally when I was probably twice your age while I had a family. You get used to the concept of having to perform some sort of labor for legal tender for goods and services to pay for life. No one is going to pay you for staying home, and no one should. The whole Bernie and Liz (BOTH multi millionaires, I might add) concept of socialism has never worked in the history of the world, and when people bring up the Nordic countries, they conveniently leave out the one hundred percent sales tax on goods and services and the eighty to ninety percent income tax which is prevalent there. Don't even bring Canada up because I used to work for a Canadian company and it's a train wreck up there. Just adhere to the way it is here because it's the best you'll get in the world. Trust me; I'm an old guy now and have been around a bit. Once you have a few more years of adulthood and maturity under your belt, you'll understand.
Explain to me why everyone under 40 has it in their head that they have to "have a purpose" or "be inspired" at a job. A job/work is a simple exchange: your time and skills for money. Making it ANY more complicated than that is idiotic. All you people are doing are setting yourselves up for being miserable because you expect life to up here, when in reality, life isnt about that. This is why I mock people cause you all convinced yourselves of a fantasy and its biting you in the ass. Grow up folks. You're not kids anymore.
My advice is unlikely to be helpful... but think of the free time component of being laid off is an illusion. The difference now is that you have to work without compensation. And you have to live on a student budget. Now you can study AWS exams, Salesforce exams, Actuarial exams, Bar exams, Series 7 exams, CFA exams. You choose. Alternatively, start small with courses at Udemy. Or look into extended education. Or prepare for a Masters. Or if you are a musician build a repertoire. Or start a UA-cam channel and supplement that with tutoring college students. Its a golden age. Mastering OBS video editing would give you a skill as useful as reading and writing. OBS will be around for a long time. Exercising is very good. The hard part is paying your room and board. You might have to live off of credit cards at first. Become a library rat. You're still a ways off from going on Social security for basic income. First step is to get a goal. And after that estimate how long it will take to achieve it.
You’ll be fine. Interest rates are going down. As that happens, more companies will be able to borrow money and expand. People will borrow money and buy stuff, which stimulates the economy, which creates more jobs and so on. This is not a bad time of year to have time off. Enjoy, relax, reset. The new year will bring new opportunities.
Stop looking for "reason", except if there are rules and laws granting employees more rights, pay, something, after three years. Yes, you are overthinking. 🙂
it's feast or famine....played the game for 40 yrs I'm 60 now... But today's world its not like you can take your hit, rough it out for a wile but always have a way and opportunity to bounce back To day once your on the outs that's it for most Rents and deposits and food costs and feul costs and yea it costs to survive car living if your not in a fully self contained vehycle which most are not Most do not have the skills to get themselfs through bei g out on there butts. *We have only began to see what's coming ...Blessings.
Oh you’re marked. Don’t have kids or involve yourself in heavy karma(shopping excessively, not volunteering, not donating old clothes to people, etc.), it’s like only living and being a consumer, things like this happen to people and unfortunately, too many people do nothing outside of tending to their lives, which getting fired is the same energy back to you. It’s a selfish energy. Only thing I can think to warn you of, to not be involved in the warfare going on outside going forward. Peace ❤️
You have such a naive perspetctive. When you start a business and have to run a business, you will find you have to make tough decisions. It's ok you are super youmg and have a idealistic perspective. The fact you expect a relationship or connection beyond the professional is amazing to me! You are like a kid who thinks Santa is real/ Listen: most jobs should be 2yr, max 3. You should always be using your current job to step up to a higher paying job. You can think that the God took that job away from you. But if you really investigated, the company just had to make cuts. Why don't you ask your boss to write a recommendation letter. If you know it feels dumb - why do it!? Why!? You already know you're gonna regret it.
You need to find an interest that you could work. Go see a career counselor and talk it out to find some direction. You don't want to be evicted and having to deal with that. Even McDonald's shift managers make 45-55k. Fast food is cash cow. I was laid off in 84, 2001, 2012. There is no safety net. When working save money, invest. Eventually you can live on your own terms. If you don't care about money, where are you going to lay your head at night and have food to eat.
honestly, with it being the end of the year, i’m not super hopeful about finding a job right now. my advice would be to focus on updating your resume, reaching out to recruiters, and using this time to reflect on what you truly want in your next job or opportunity. it’s rare to have this kind of free time, so make the most of it and use it to your advantage
Now try to spirituality manifest another dream job. Watching this girl get a dose of reality, going through the stages of grief but not realizing that spirituality has nothing to do with your 9-5 is low key hilarious. Hope you bounce back though. Namaste.
@ it’s definitely not for me. Like I said whatever helps you cope better, but using your spiritual intuitions regarding the corporate world gave me a good chuckle. 👌🏼
Your perspective of 9to5 is wrong and depressing. My guess is that you have experience at only one company. Most my coworkers are happy with their jobs and have challenging work.
Its nice that you express yourself so you can get feedback and learn more. I suggest you for 3 days to pray, fast and believe Matt 17:21.Half a year ago I had really problem with my eyes to the point I couldnt work. I did the 3 day fast and I got healed. In time of need go to God, To your family and to your church.
it’s happening to a lot of people right now, so it feels like i’m just experiencing a wave of something. i also have a safety net and people around me who support me, and i’m very privileged to say that. i’m focusing on what i can control
🤔i always find it interesting how women attack men for not wanting to over work & sacrifice themselves at a job, but when they make that effort to climb up the work ladder, they realize that it's not for them either.
working a corporate job isn’t the only way to show effort or build a meaningful career. me not wanting to work a corporate job isn’t about avoiding hard work. in fact, it’s quite the opposite. i’d rather put my energy into work that aligns with my values and feels fulfilling than climb a ladder just to prove i can work as hard as a man. my career choices are about staying true to myself and channeling my hard work into something meaningful. i believe this should open up a larger conversation about how the corporate system needs to be addressed for everyone, not just men or just women. this was never a topic of gender.
you know what people that get laid off don't say? that they worked hard. and that they love their job. it's always something else. meanwhile, people that want to work cannot get even a simple "no".
@@elizabethjackson0 hope in a good way. The traditional family structures have worked for thousands of years. I am not against women working, just against it being their main/only focus and sharing the toxicity with us .
Been self employed my entire life. Close to 65. Worked as an independent contractor for corporate America. I screwed them every chance I got! When I billed the crooks!

Getting laid off is a blessing in disguise. People i know who got laid off moved on to better things.
💛
I got laid off recently, I'm looking for better jobs myself.
I got laid off at june ever since then, I implemented a detailed budgeting strategy, tracking every expense and setting clear spending limits across all categories. In just six months, I saved over $60,000, giving me a strong sense of financial security and the ability to invest in my future. This approach has transformed the way I manage money, and I now feel more confident than ever about achieving my long-term goals.
How did you manage to save up so much so quickly?
The strategy was all thanks to Lorrie Greta Hillard, a brilliant financial advisor. She helped me create a personalized budgeting plan, track my expenses, and prioritize savings effectively. Her expertise made all the difference in reaching my financial goals
Thanks for the tips! I was curious, so I did a little research and looked up the name.
So done with 9-5, its Depressing!
When I go laid off very long time ago I felt weird unwanted. I walked around till I snap out of It knowing that somewhere else my spirit and me can be accepted and find a purpose to be busy again in. A day.

Hi there
i already gave you a reply.
well, you did get the job for a reason and you got laid off for a reason. God has a purpose and reason for everything. i think people can get a little cooky about numbers...like numerology. Reading things into numbers. It is wild that you start a jo and got laid off on the same day of the year, but what-ever. i think it points to God working behind the scenes, more than anything else!❤

This is not Rejection, this is but Redirection ❤ Be brave ❤
You can spritualize just about anything: any wins and any lose! Even no answer can be spiritualized. But we, as long as I've been alive, have no sufficient evidence for the claim. I think life happens
I sincerely hope things get better for you though!
The system is crap and so is capitalism without guardrails. I hope everything works out for you Liz.
Work

Work
Buy 401k

Cut up credit card

Yes, you're correct. There's definitely a strong spiritual meaning to that, I mean think about it. There's 365 days in a year, meaning there's 364 other days when it could have happened 😳...

not really, just the general “restructuring” reason that most companies say
@@elizabethjackson0 same to me
God has better plan for you. He does not make mistakes. Take one step, He will take the next. Always thank God for ups and downs.
You’ll be fine. Interest rates are going down. As that happens, more companies will be able to borrow money and expand. People will borrow money and buy stuff, which stimulates the economy, which creates more jobs and so on. This is not a bad time of year to have time off. Enjoy, relax, reset. The new year will bring new opportunities.
Stop looking for "reason", except if there are rules and laws granting employees more rights, pay, something, after three years. Yes, you are overthinking. 🙂
it's feast or famine....played the game for 40 yrs I'm 60 now...
But today's world its not like you can take your hit, rough it out for a wile but always have a way and opportunity to bounce back
To day once your on the outs that's it for most
Rents and deposits and food costs and feul costs and yea it costs to survive car living if your not in a fully self contained vehycle which most are not
Most do not have the skills to get themselfs through bei g out on there butts.
*We have only began to see what's coming ...Blessings.
Oh you’re marked. Don’t have kids or involve yourself in heavy karma(shopping excessively, not volunteering, not donating old clothes to people, etc.), it’s like only living and being a consumer, things like this happen to people and unfortunately, too many people do nothing outside of tending to their lives, which getting fired is the same energy back to you. It’s a selfish energy. Only thing I can think to warn you of, to not be involved in the warfare going on outside going forward. Peace ❤️
You have such a naive perspetctive. When you start a business and have to run a business, you will find you have to make tough decisions. It's ok you are super youmg and have a idealistic perspective.
The fact you expect a relationship or connection beyond the professional is amazing to me! You are like a kid who thinks Santa is real/
Listen: most jobs should be 2yr, max 3. You should always be using your current job to step up to a higher paying job. You can think that the God took that job away from you. But if you really investigated, the company just had to make cuts. Why don't you ask your boss to write a recommendation letter.
If you know it feels dumb - why do it!? Why!? You already know you're gonna regret it.
Maintain these connections with good people. Making money is a social activity. Stay in the game.
Alot of people are realising it after COVID. Not just you. Everyone needs a proper life plan without dependency on anyone for livelihood.
You need to find an interest that you could work. Go see a career counselor and talk it out to find some direction. You don't want to be evicted and having to deal with that. Even McDonald's shift managers make 45-55k. Fast food is cash cow. I was laid off in 84, 2001, 2012. There is no safety net. When working save money, invest. Eventually you can live on your own terms. If you don't care about money, where are you going to lay your head at night and have food to eat.
Perhaps they wanted to prevent you getting vested which means having to contribute to your retirement and offer you better benefits.
Your not meant for a 9to5 💯 keep posting & get paid for you personality ‼️
can you give advice on how you found a job? Are you just applying on linkedin?
honestly, with it being the end of the year, i’m not super hopeful about finding a job right now. my advice would be to focus on updating your resume, reaching out to recruiters, and using this time to reflect on what you truly want in your next job or opportunity. it’s rare to have this kind of free time, so make the most of it and use it to your advantage
11/11, crazy energy on this day.
This is a dragon year, perhaps it is an enemy year for you.
Then you need to believe that HE closed this door and is opening another one. Be patient and keep praying.
You're better than 9 to 5. Subbed
Now try to spirituality manifest another dream job.
Watching this girl get a dose of reality, going through the stages of grief but not realizing that spirituality has nothing to do with your 9-5 is low key hilarious. Hope you bounce back though. Namaste.
if the idea of “spirituality” triggers you, this channel might not be for you
@ it’s definitely not for me. Like I said whatever helps you cope better, but using your spiritual intuitions regarding the corporate world gave me a good chuckle. 👌🏼
you are correct
This must be a lot harder for women because of the emotional attachment and emotional weakness in general
Your perspective of 9to5 is wrong and depressing. My guess is that you have experience at only one company. Most my coworkers are happy with their jobs and have challenging work.
HR wanted u to get 3 full years. 11/10 wouldn't count. Many for 401k, 403b reasons ?
help me find remote work in the US. you can keep a cut as payment. EASY
Its nice that you express yourself so you can get feedback and learn more. I suggest you for 3 days to pray, fast and believe Matt 17:21.Half a year ago I had really problem with my eyes to the point I couldnt work. I did the 3 day fast and I got healed. In time of need go to God, To your family and to your church.
You was meant to make UA-cam videos make more like this like this video
It’s a sign.
You’re very pretty
🤢 perv. ; ekkk mal3's, eewww
Oh tell me about it.
I am sure you will be fine. The US unemployment rate is low.
It makes no sense to me how people survive nowadays.. You seem so chill for losing your job..
it’s happening to a lot of people right now, so it feels like i’m just experiencing a wave of something. i also have a safety net and people around me who support me, and i’m very privileged to say that. i’m focusing on what i can control
You're so beautiful. God will help you. I believe.
🤔i always find it interesting how women attack men for not wanting to over work & sacrifice themselves at a job, but when they make that effort to climb up the work ladder, they realize that it's not for them either.
Are you kidding me? this is a patriarchy, you created this 🗑️. But now you want to complain about it? You want to sit here whining? 🤡
working a corporate job isn’t the only way to show effort or build a meaningful career. me not wanting to work a corporate job isn’t about avoiding hard work. in fact, it’s quite the opposite. i’d rather put my energy into work that aligns with my values and feels fulfilling than climb a ladder just to prove i can work as hard as a man. my career choices are about staying true to myself and channeling my hard work into something meaningful. i believe this should open up a larger conversation about how the corporate system needs to be addressed for everyone, not just men or just women. this was never a topic of gender.
I’ll answer that for you, you’re crazy.
you know what people that get laid off don't say? that they worked hard. and that they love their job. it's always something else. meanwhile, people that want to work cannot get even a simple "no".
God isnt real mate. It doesnt mean anything, lol
God is real. You know deep down in your heart
@@techxyz5176 Literally no lol. Not everyone grew up brainwashed by your weird sky fairy cult
Why are you pissed?
Get married and focus on bringing children and housework. The value of a woman is to give life and making home ...
this made me laugh
@@elizabethjackson0 hope in a good way. The traditional family structures have worked for thousands of years. I am not against women working, just against it being their main/only focus and sharing the toxicity with us .
Found the Christian lol
@@zunedog31 not Christian, just traditional.
