Losing your job is a 5+ year sentence now

Hi there 👋 If you're new to my videos, my name is Levi,

I make videos highlighting bad bosses and corporate cringe, because I believe that EVERYONE deserves a great place to work. Change starts with awareness. If you enjoy this type of content as much as I do, you can subscribe for regular videos.

Damn, After watching this I am depressed

And the people in charge say the economy is better than ever.

Recruiter here: everything is absolutely true and I experienced it after losing a new job during a merger. My advice? Lie. Put that you still work at your last employer. When you get the background check, THEN you enter your correct hiring date. Unless you’re looking to work for a background check company, no one will look into it.

Ah, yes. I landed on the depressing section of YT again

People in the comment section, this is all jobs... office jobs, and trade jobs are taking a hit right now

I feel like I made the right choice. I realized school was never ment for me at age 18, I’m 24 now. I decided I was going to work for what I like, not to just completely go to school to make money. Especially since I knew my computer science degree was over saturated. So I decided to work with alcohol. I relaxed, saved up what I could at a shit job and traveled the world, even now if I became homeless, I would just backpack. People are to afraid these days, it’s money-money-money. The economy is bad and I get it but from the eyes of someone who HAS been homeless and has 49 bucks in their account, I can still figure out how to live comfortably. Anyways I realized that I was gonna do things I enjoyed, alcohol and flowers, realizing the there’s not a lot of sommeliers or florist means that it’s easy game for me and I still make good money AND didn’t have to go to school for years AND it’s HIGHLY respected to be a sommelier. Im never out of a job anymore. Will I make 100k? Probably not for a very very long time, but I have gotten 10 job offers in the last 2 months. Find something less saturated is all the advice I can give, get out of the comfort zone. Eventually I’m going to buy a 10k plot of land, get my builders permit and learn how to build my own little tiny dome house. It will be hard but it’s worth it. My sister is a project manager and also went to law school. Been out of a job for months. Has only gotten 2 call backs and both declined. Also keep in mind, I have no parents, NO support, nothing, so I guess it’s easier for me to up and move and wander. Both me and my sister were orphans and homeless for a long time, if you have nothing to fall back on, you can’t be afraid. I hope this will give people some sort of advice.

There is more to life than "work".

I'm a union apprentice electrician. I got laid off from a contractor and that day I called up the hall and let them know. By the next business day they found me a job that had overtime.

Make Unions Great Again

“Turns out if you get fired from your worthless Human Resources administrate admin ambassador to the Human Resources job turns out you won’t be able to find an equally useless job on indeed”

Damn...and he didn't even say it was gonna get better either 😂😂😂😂

[joeldoesdesign]

I’ve lived this multiple times. I graduated with a masters degree in my field (marketing) and got laid off 5 times in 4 years from toxic, bullying, threatening bosses. I now suffer from a debilitating, stress-induced health condition caused by the immense financial stress of all that, and I am YEARS behind all my friends who work in fields where getting laid off is unheard of. I have a great job now, but it will still take at least another year to rebuild my obliterated life savings.

I've never been unemployed, just independent contractor for a while

[random_nick_for_comments]

I like how simple ideas are in this video. I was fired, and found a new job after half a year. And my problems were very close to those author described. Only can add if you have kids, dispair is even bigger, because you think that you let them down. Tough feeling.

[RSGTI]

three years of covid irrationality are now being balanced out by the current depression and eventually the recession

[darkskinwhite]

I've had 5 jobs in the past 2 years. yeah I'm not workin at Google lol but $35/hr ain't terrible

[tortureddummies]

You won’t even get a McDonald’s job today! 😂

Also the job hopper statement is WRONG. Job hopping is not one job less than 2 years, , it’s a PATTERN. It’s hoping jobs after a few months to 7 months. That’s job hopping. And it’s NOT that bad. Job hoppers get the best jobs. The trick is to never stop applying. Keep applying even when you get a job. The job market is like a gambling machine, you got to keep trying to score big. People treat Job hopping like the BOGEY MAN. I have gotten tons of jobs and interviews while being one. I’ve had 15 jobs within 7 years. Averaging 2 jobs a year. It’s all about strategic jumps and clever resume writing.

Story: my last IT job deadass asked me if I was a job hopper and they don’t like those people. I was stunned asked that and I LIED.. I ended up passing all 3 interviews and I got the JOB. Guess what? I bounced after 3 months! Hahah

I have 4 years class A hazmat tanker experience and applied at Reliable Tank Lines. The first 3 questions they asked me:

Race?
Gender?
Member of LGBTQ?

[raymond_sycamore]

Why do I see signs everywhere for $20 an hour factory work? $25 to be a general labor construction help? There are jobs. You don't want them.

I'm glad I'm 68 am very comfortable financially. It was like this years ago.
