Layoffs

Yeah, the suck has hit close to home.

Not farks, but I know how you feel. Been laid off twice in my life and it sucks. Particularly this time with the pandemic you must be really worried.

My advice (besides drinking heavily, but that'll end up not being productive eventually) would be try to keep your focus. Make looking for a job your full time job. Get up. Clean up and hit the phones and internet. Companies are still hiring in certain industries...

Did you see this site?

Don't be too proud to file for unemployment. You, and your employer, have paid in all these years. Get you a guberment check. It's your money anyway.

Could you negotiate "underemployment" with your employer? Sucks, but maybe they'd keep you on at a reduced rate? My daughter's employer just say they're having to cut her salary to 75% of the total. My point to her was it sucks, but at least your still in the game.

Hang in there man.
