@@ntk4569 It depends on what the interaction is. I've seen way too many times, someone reports another person to HR for SA or other reasons, and they end up terminating both the victim and the accused. Then once the victim sues for wrongful termination, the legal team creates a settlement and the case just gets swept under the rug completely. And then when other co-workers start inquiring what happen, it's always "We are not allowed to discuss confidential matters."

The Golden rule - It does not matter what u know it matters whom you know. Trying to get a job by just applying will not do. When people send resumes on line or even coming in person , does not guarantee even interview. Most employment advertisements in reality are not for hiring . Someone was already hired ( nephew, sister's BF),. Just for statistical purposes and revealing job opening ,they supposedly put ad for employment . But, resumes that they get are being kept for a while and than being discarded without reading. Here is the lucky ending, having connection will qualify you to get a job and to keep it regardless whether u have skills or not . U can be trained while being on job.

At 3:26 that really broke my heart. As an employer of a small business, i could never imagine putting someone in that horrible predicament especially if they have uprooted their life to take the job I offered. I had a situation where I knew I was no longer going to accept money from a particular project that I won a bid on. The labor was too intensive for the crappy money they were giving. I had 13 months left on the contract. I had to hire two people to help finish it out. I told the candidates during the interview process that the project would be phasing out in a year so they wouldn’t get comfortable doing the job and so they could really think long and hard if they wanted the temporary role or not. I found 2 great candidates. When the project ended I found another way to pay them until I could landed another long term project. They were so appreciative for my honesty. I was just treating people like I would want to be treated if i were out there looking for a job. These types of companies give all employers a really bad reputation.

[@ibuymyownroses]

I was laid off and my coworker told me after I left that they made her do my job without the commission I was getting and she still had to do her job.

I could not be an HR person for any company. You have to have tough skin when sent by management to do the dirty work of firing/laying off people. At the end of the day, it wasn't HR that picked the people who get fired, they themselves are just doing their job. It's a tough spot to be in regardless. You would have to be a robot in order to not feel empathy or compassion for turning another person's life upside down. OAN, these trends of posting online every little thing (in this case big thing) but nonetheless does NOT help for future prospects. I have been with my company going on 25 years and have been blessed to survive 8 RIFs (Reduction in Force or restructuring). I'm close to retirement and under no illusion I will keep skating by, so I have been saving as much as I can just in case. They generally offer early retirement w/severance first before forcing people out. I just need to survive the next two and I will be ready to take severance and run for the hills. I have a year worth of bills saved and my house is already paid for and I don't have a carnote. I pray everyone impacted by these job losses can bounce back quickly despite the trash job market out there.

[@MonkeyhammerTP]

Anybody that thinks that their employer actually cares about them is delusional. You are there to do a job and when they no longer need your services, it's over. Nothing personal. It's a business contract. Stop acting like your job owes you anything more than a paycheck. Yeah it sucks but if you understand this, you won't be all in your feelings when they kick you to the curb. These companies are not loyal so you shouldn't be either. And P.S. Notice how when you get fired it is effective immediately but when you quit, they want two weeks notice. LOL.

[@Zipperskull_]

I use to work at a bowling company called bowlero, they left me go by the next day after I was giving a 2 week notice that I was leaving. The general manager was aware that I was leaving but didn't know it was apart of there policy. There were 2 other managers telling me about bowlero's dogsh*t policy, and mainly the reason why I wanted to leave because they were giving me less days to work which hurt me financially since I wanted to get my last paycheck, but no, the CEO and company is just full of sh*t when they took over lucky strike. Luckily, I'm glad I was getting hired to a new job on the same week. NEVER give your all to these corporate jobs, they'll backstab you where you can't even reach the knife to fight back.

[@darkskinisalwaysin]

Exactly!

[@bootscooty]

Only one little problem homie and that is that these corporations are playing off of people's basic need for community to get their corporate needs met. They wouldn't be able to hire people if people didn't believe that they were entering into a relationship. And a lot of people just cannot understand the nature of a business relationship, nor will they ever. Simply because there are more sheep than there are sharks when it comes to money goggles. The trouble starts when people get their money goggles ripped off cuz they got laid off and start to realize that they're not sheep and that's CEOs are not sharks. That's when the revolutions and the revolts and all that stuff starts. I don't think we have... very easy times ahead. Just going to put it that way.

[@WhatIThink45]

It's great to see these videos because they show how corporations don't care about workers. They exploit workers and lay them off whenever they want. It's often a big risk to change to a new job because you don't know what will happen. It's difficult to not get a paycheck for even a month because it can set you back several months, depending on your monthly expenses and other responsibilities.

[@freeinghumanitynow]

[@jerica5425]

This is just more confirmation for me to start my own business! You guys also, don’t forget, whatever you were good at doing at your job that laid you off, you can STILL do that job by teaching others the knowledge you’ve gained. For instance, if you were good at sales and your title was ‘Sales Manager’ or Marketing, you can teach people about sales and marketing, and how to strive in their own business or career. You could even write and sell Ebooks. How I see it, when one door closes, MANY MORE can open up. Use the knowledge you have and pivot off that, and who knows maybe you’re meant to retire being YOUR OWN BOSS and not an employee of someone who is willing to let you go at any time. Let’s LEVEL UP ALL 2024!! Don’t give up. You can cry, be frustrated, kick the curb, but whatever you do… keep going!! Wish you all the best.

I was laid off back in Oct 23' from my job that I was at for 5 years. I am just now landing a job in my field this month. The job hunt is exhausting. While I also took time to look for jobs in my field, I took the time to start my own print on demand business and I am doing really well with it . I needed the break from corporate america, it helped me regain a sense of what i wanted out of my own life, to have something I can call my own. While I am now back in my field, I am also constantly working on business and making sure that it continues to grow. I needed something I can fall back on. I made a promise to myself I will never allow anyone ever again to tell me I'm fired or that I am being laid off and solely just rely on that job to get me by. Its also a shame that in at will states that these companies can fire anyone without any real justification. I'm really rooting for all those going through unemployment and are down on hard times because it is without a doubt mentally draining.
