All these "I'm gonna lose my job, what do I do" posts are useless, if not just glowie demoralization.
Here's the deal:
The medical industry, the entertainment industry, the cosmetic industry, the retail industry, etc... -- all of them are a farce.
They are based on lies told to people to sell things people don't need. What's worse is that some actively lobby to craft an artificial ecosystem that requires their snake oil to survive, thereby making us slaves to THEIR systems.
All your degrees and certificates are just wood pulp saying you're a loyal slave. It says nothing of your ability to perform the job; a shitty doctor is still a shitty doctor regardless of degree.
If your job is mandating you kill yourself by injecting venom, it won't be the last time they pull that trick. By giving in, you're just moving the goalpost for them. They'll ask you to do it again, and again, and again; until you're dead.
In reality, your job is already gone. The world we're headed towards, no matter which side wins, already deems you obsolete. If you weren't "essential" AKA "exempt" you're already first on the chopping block for the depopulation effort.
Technology is so stunted, so controlled, and so corrupt that the "skills" you think you have are woefully depreciated.
The only ability that matters is the ability to learn. Not memorize, but learn. Once you've mastered the ability to learn, there's nothing you're not qualified for.
If they take you to that line, and you get fired, then take the time to learn how to learn. It'll be the most valuable thing you could possibly do.
I am definitely not lucky.
My name isn't a jest, it is my sad sorry state. I have narcolepsy and my medicine costs $5700 a month. It's probably due to the meningitis vaccine in 2006 that I have it.
I have responsibilities, but only what I can bear. I avoid seeking out things that give me more responsibilities, and that includes having a family and living alone.
My parent's poor decisions are my burden to bear. I will inherit their possessions as well as their debt. If I lose my job, we're all fucked.
But I'm not gonna give in to fear and I'm not gonna piss my pants over it looking for sympathy. I got laid-off a year before Covid happened, and I learned some hard lessons then.
You're never more than a minute away from everything in your life falling to pieces.
You either man up and get rid of the excess in anticipation of it or continue to sit on that pile of TNT hoping no one comes near with a match.
If you can't make it without a job right now, you've built your house on a foundation of sand. I'm not gonna shame you for it, as yesterday's sins are better left in the past.
Instead, take the time now to tie down what you do have and get rid of anything that will carry your house away in the upcoming storm.
If that means getting rid of frivolous subscriptions, budgeting food, or searching for a new job then do it now so you can't later say "I should've" or "I could've."
Live every day such that the future you is proud and grateful of the current you.
"If you can't make it without a job right now, you've built your house on a foundation of sand."
You're so naive it's cringey. We should all just be single, childless, and living at home like you. Then life would be so simple we could post whatever half baked philosophies we think up online.
Why are any of these things bad?
For someone with no ambitions, skills, or goals, I guess it's not.
I do have ambitions, skills, and goals. They just aren't your ambitions, skills, or goals.
I hear you.
(BTW you never have to pay parents debts unless property is in your name)
Thx for response as you hit a nerve. This is miserable for most people.
I can't wait for it to be over... or at least, have the mandate to receive vaccine or be fired suspended at least.
Your parents raised a good son. You sound compassionate not arrogant.
