I was also retrenched in 2020 during covid, even though I was working in the healthcare sector. There was so much uncertainty in the job market. The constant rejections take a toll on one's self worth and mental health. Totally relatable when he talked about rewriting the cv so many times. I was extremely lucky to find another job at the end of that yr, which became a page turner and being able to switch from a sunset industry to a sunrise industry. I just wanna encourage everyone who is in a difficult situation, to hang in there and keep the faith. I cldnt see the silver lining of my circumstances at the start. Looking back, the retrenchment had forced me to rethink my directions and challenge myself to adapt. Sometimes, u can only join the dots looking back, and crisis often presents opportunity...

3 years ago I knew my co is going to restructure their operations. Before I was retrenched last year, I aggressively invested to build my passive income. When the pink slip came, I had enough to cover my expenses and take my time to do some soul searching and plan for my next step. I am not embarrassed to tell people i am jobless during this CNY. I am glad I had time to prepare and embrace this new chapter in my life.

James is a growth stock facing temporary dip, he will definitely bounce back soon cos he has a strong foundation and growth potentials. He has the confidence and courage to invest in himself, and so others(new employers) with sharp eyes will also trust him with good positions. I hope I can be as strong as James in character.

James is inspirational. Thank you for sharing your story and your articulate insight.

[@sohfihamid4164]

As a 40 year old, I relate to this but one should not limit ourselves inside a box. There is always opportunities to build oneself with doing passionate projects that can become a side hustle or freelancer. The employability market is gonna change every time and everyone need to evolve in some ways to sustain ourselves beyond a career. Don't listen to the naysayers or people who look down on you based on age etc. Get upskill, learn new things and innovate! I think every adult is capable of doing something that is fulfilling and rewarding.

[@itzSoonz]

I know it's been hard... I did the same! applied for 10 jobs and i can't bring myself to look for a full-time job to secure and make my heart feel at ease. Because, im always at home. Doing just nothing! it's really really stressful. Hopefully after CNY, i could find a full-time job as well! The rejection is real, but never giving up is another.

If I were an employer, I think after watching this video... I would hire you without hesitation :D I think it was very brave for you to do this sharing and I am glad to hear you already found a job. the point you shared about learning doesn't stop when we are adults is so true. I think sometimes we just follow the flow and work work work but we forget to take care of ourselves and upgrade our skills set. all the best to you, I am sure you will go far !

[@manfat7051]

I lost my job 6 years ago at the age of 53. The first several years of jobless, I was okay, because I had time to look after my old mother and travelled around. Due to Covid, I have stayed home for more than two years for doing nothing. I am very depressed. I am now a jobless person before receiving the pension. It is hard to be mentally fit.

[@pyt6631]

It seems like he has found his place , which happened from the decisions that came about from the string of closed doors. A closed door is simply a step to get to where you are supposed to be.

[@Xffern]

I was in the same situation and almost the same age too. Being unemployed when you are in your 40s can be really scary esp when the job market and employers requirements are changing so much. But I thank the retrenchment which got me to understand that my job is making me really depressed and the dependency on the monthly paycheck is not helping me to work on changing the situation. I went back to school too and all the grants the government is throwing out really helps. All I can say is despite how bad the situation seems to be in other people's eyes, it has been the best break I have ever taken. Sometimes, life throws you a curve to actually help you out.

[@Bluemoon1504]

Thanks OGS and James for sharing your story. I graduated last summer and went through many applications, got my hopes up, and later left with disappointment.

Life can get hard sometimes but keep trying and you can make it happen!!

[@31330496RachelYang]

Agree. Life is a lot bigger than your job even though paycheck is important, your job doesn’t define you, your life, your value, your identity. Learning goes beyond your job. A meaningful life goes beyond your job title

[@beautyandthesimp]

Or become a farmer. Back to nature

[@karebu2]

Yea bro a job is not everything until you have none

[@31330496RachelYang]

@@karebu2 it’s the mentality, even with a job, the office chair you are sitting on is never yours to begin with and any day it must be returned, never get too comfortable with a job. It’s also where having multiple streams of income is a bigger priority than gaining validation from others. Having a job is not a reason to stop learning, growing. Having a job is by no means a definition of one’s identity or value. Having a job never meant that this is who you are and what you deserve. Similarly, losing a job in a retrenchment is never personal. Not being employed for various reasons does not make one any lesser. There is a difference between “paycheck is important” vs “what others think of me in my job or me without a job”

[@lydiat5819]

If you are good, the work will come... no no no, I don't agree. It has to do with luck because I see people who complain about work at the drop of the hat change job every few months while from my own experience, I took me months to find one and my managers always praise my work even in contract work. I just dont have the luck to land a job easily. Looking for a job was my job for many months before I finally found one that I was able to stay put for 18 years.

It is dangerous to equate the entirety of self-worth with your career performance and economic productivity. Capitalistic society has dug deep into our psyche's to the point where many of us associate how well we're doing in our careers and how much we're earning to how worthy we are as people. Career life can be a fulfilling and amazing part of our lives, but let's not make it such that when it doesn't go the way we expect, we crumble and see ourselves as worthless.

Being retrenched is such a big event. Your income ceases but your financial commitment stays. Headaches set in and you are in a rush to get a new job. Often if you are above 40 such rush become harder. You will have to settle for very different n less paying jobs as you got no choice. Still some cannot gets a job and go into business. Something they have no experience at all n got burn n things get worse. This is life.

[@sunchildtine]

correct me if if i'm wrong, SG retirement age is 63. that's a long way to go...... Job market is very competitive. Nowadays, at 35, many are considered "old". Let alone those who are in their 40's/50' s when Covid pandemic took a hit. Many are still struggling to re-start again. Companies gear towards hiring younger generation because of online dominance.

[@annieteo7169]

But some employers can be very choosy. I met with 2 guys and listened to their stories. You can be selected for a job application. And you could be going for 3 rounds of interview in the same company. And they will tell you that you are of the shortlisted candidate. And when finally, you are not selected. You probably think maybe 1 other shortlisted candidate got employed but that's not the case. You will see the same advertisement for the same role appeared again. And SME doesnt pay that well too. For someone with an MBA and years of experience at the age of 40s , the salary could be around $3500 .

[@henrietta9206]

because human resource is shopping, and like I buy a car, I need to "audition" the car. to the applicant, they are expected to come with sincerity. to the hirers, they are looking at a human, internally thinking "that is a Thing" they say that is the way the "market" slant now. the market never "change" slants in capitalism, and the aura here will always be capitalism until someone speak up and say "excuse me, we are HUMAN too". who will say. even when I did, my words got deleted.

[@ReizePrimus]

A gentle reminder to everyone that have ever been retrenched. It is never your fault you got retrenched, and you should never feel shame for being retrenched. Retrenchment is an unfortunate circumstance that you cannot control no matter how you tried to plan your skill portfolio for future changes, or tried to work hard and provide the best possible value to your company. You must never blame yourself. And if it is difficult to internalize what happened, know that the blame always falls squarely on the management of the company who failed you and everyone else. Fear (for your finances and well being) is understandable, let it be the driving force that gets you back on your feet. But shame and self-loathing is a threat that can hold you back from retaking your place in society again.

[@Tonytayloring]

1:50 You can always go self-employed, or make full use of this time to read yourself some books and upgrades. What's so ashamed? Just cos its societ-stigma?
