I’m sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can’t ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I’ve been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary…
So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals
Idk how much this will help, but… You can’t change massive corporations, they’re gonna do what they do so my recommendation is to just stop trying. I don’t mean that as in “give up on finding a job, don’t get me wrong” just that next time you find one for a massive corporation, do the barrreee minimum as written in your contract.
Bonuses, promotions and other bs like that are just lies to make you put in more work as far as I’m concerned. If they aren’t gonna appreciate you working hard, then don’t work hard, that’s what I’m tryina say.
I know this doesn’t help a whole lot but… Again, big corporations gonna be big corporations, layoffs are gonna happen with them, I mean… The CEO’s 10th yacht is way more important than your livelyhood after all. So you may as well cut your losses and not put in as much work for them next time…
