Maybe this is OT, feel free to move it there. I was laid off this AM. Business is down, and the job scene is dismal at best. This really sucks.

Sorry to hear that napalm. Good luck hustling up something new!

Dude, that is not cool. What was it you were doing?

Inside Sales for a chemical manufacturer. I've been in Industrial Distribution since the 90's. 15 Inside, 7 Outside, 2 years as a Branch Manager, and several as an Area Sales Manager. My background is Fluid Power, Hydraulics, and Power Transmission. This job actually sucked. I made less than 20 years ago after I left my last job where I had a boss that was a tyrant, bully, and micromanager.
 
This too shall pass brother...Tough times never last, tough people always do.

 
Sorry to hear it.

My shop has been circling the drain lately and I fear the worst. I know I'll be the last to go because of what I do here, but it might not be long before I show up to a locked gate.

As long as I can work and the checks don't bounce, I'm here though. With AI taking over everything, being a human is starting to feel obsolete. I can go on about the robot arm that is bankrupting this place and the devaluing of human labor, but I've already gone too far. Perhaps this hits too close to home.

Hope you find your way through this. We're all here to financially borrow your gear for a bit if you need it.
 
Damn!

When one door closes, another one opens. (This is the BS feel-good statement that everyone says.) It's the part where you stand out on the hallway that sucks ass.
 
Very sorry to hear that. I've been there also. When My kids were younger and my wife was a stay at home Mom.
Try to stay positive. Do you have an updated resume? It would be good to have it saved on your phone to apply as soon as the emails hit your inbox. Most HR folks stop collecting resumes after 10 or less applicants.
I had good luck finding a job on zip recruiter I think it was about 10 years ago. I was back to getting a paycheck in 6 weeks last time.
