shiid, i'm just recovering from it. i was making $55k a year, go laid off, and had NOTHING. my wife was already laid off, so we were already struggling, so when i lost my job, we were both sitting on the couch like
i applied for unemployment, but my previous job DENIED me
lost my house, 2 cars, and had to move my wife and 2 kids to my parents house.
then i snagged another job working in oil and gas AGAIN. it was a contract job, but it was for a year and i would be making $19 an hour, so i took it. wifey got a job in social services. so we saved our money, and after 10 months of living off my parents, we were able to lease a house. got into the house and literally a month later, i lost my job AGAIN
they didn't renew my contract and didn't give me a heads up. they told me on a Tuesday that my last day was Friday. fukkin' fakkits
so i was on unemployment for 2 months which BARELY helped us squeak by, and i got a call for a job. when i went to the interview, i found out that it was another contract job
that payed what i was making in unemployment already. but i would have to drive (gas), park in paid parking lots, and eat lunch.
after some consideration, i decided to take it anyway because i was tired of sitting on my ass doing nothing. the hospital hired me after 2 months of contracting for them, and paid me $72k a year with all the benefits. a nikka is
GOOD right now. so it all worked out. but the down periods HURT a lot....
kinda career changes were you making, breh?
