I was employed after a break of 4 years. Then within 6 months of starting working again, I lost my job. And it wasn’t just any job, it was a blue collar job. I feel devastated.
Is there anybody here who resonates with this experience? Will I ever get a new job??

Kinda. I just attended a sort of job training course today. The guy running it said that according to statistics, in my country, on average, you have to send 100 applications to get 5-10 interviews which then result in 1 job. So that was a bit of a wake-up call. Whenever I have a job, it feels so precarious. Like I will lose it if I screw up once, or just because everything keeps getting more and more competitive. Sigh.
I’m feeling very down bro. What do I do. I haven’t smoked or drank my entire life, and I was begging my brother to get me some alcohol today. I am feeling very sad.
I dunno man. Life sucks sometimes. Maybe just wait it out? Why do you feel down?
Sorry, I only just realised you just lost your job. I thought it happened a while back. Are you eligible for any kind of assistance to tide you over until you find something else? I dunno… I think one thing is to try to be very extroverted. The more people you meet, the higher the chance that someone can offer you a job or knows someone who can. I don’t think it’s something that comes naturally for everyone, certainly not me, you just have to practise. Idk.
A ‘job’, for most of us, is the act of someone using you like a tool. There is usually no notion of “we are going to share the work and the profits from the work”, rather, it’s ‘you are going to do all the work and the owners are going to keep the profits’
Look at how they outsource jobs to slave wage regions of the world!
It’s inhumane and it takes a special kind of stupid to be able to put up with it.
yeah i lost my job 4 years ago luckily i lived off plenty of money all this time like a young retiree i had fun and was carefree
now its all over im in debt and getting my accounts frozen and getting sued and everything while going to soup kitchen
its hell thats why i want leave earth
so dont make my mistake, find yourself another job as soon as you can
society punish those who has too much fun…. i had fun for 4 years without contributing to society the way society wants ( a job) now i am punished
youre not on this earth to have fun if youre not in the 1% richest, human condition is pityful, its still organized slavery in 2000s, the next generations will judge us harshly
