listen; now is the time to get the fun in. after a few weeks the creeping dread starts to compete for your time, but right now you could put a good thirty to forty hours of gaming time in and not even feel stressed about it

    That sucks. It's always better to be the one taking the initiative.

    Did you have any, uh, "leverage" left over at the company? Or is their main rude awakening just going to be loss of convenience and performance?

    Oh yeah I think that was your post that you were predicting getting laid off. Congratulations, I think. Spend your new free time well, enjoy.

    The only thing that sucks rn is my partner is spiraling from stress, they were on my health insurance. I'm squeezing in one last therapist visit today, and my partner is scrambling to get shit refilled.

    Yoooo that shit catalyzed quick in the past 24 hours! You probably are aware but if you need therapy and you're near a university with a psych program, they likely have a program that serves people in the community, and it's usually sliding scale. There may also be other sliding scale options around as well.

    Also in my state, the insurance companies that run medicaid typically have programs that will help to pay for things that are health related so long as a doctor provides a referral. If yall need assistance paying for meds, that might be something to look into.

    Sorry I can't help offer a ton of advice on this stuff, it's my job lol

    Tbh, employment that you're in full control of is better.

    A zero-hour contract sounds bad, but I have a part-time job with 0 scheduled hours, amd coworkers that often want to trade in shifts, and those are frequent enough that I can have my choice of shifts, and still cover my expenses with a rather low frequency.

    The work itself is not particularly enjoyable, but the aspect of it being fully under my control makes it my best job ever on that metric.

    You can join me in the job search comrade yes-honey-left

    But seriously my current job pays so badly for an office job, and they started limiting our hours so it's basically become a part time job.

    Hope you can find something better soon

    LESGOOOOO

    Going on 2 months from shitass retail work after zoning out a few days in a row, out of pure spiteful contempt for an annoying manager.

    Never making that mistake again, but i stand by this one. Fuck Loblaws, fuck "Superstores" and fuck retail managers who pretend youre "getting them in trouble" by breaking rules. I wish it was that simple.

    Remember to process your new American unemployment period by going through all the stages:

    1. Denial (Fuck them! I'm better off.)
    2. Terror (WTF AM I GOING TO DO!?!?!?)
    3. Procrastination (I might as well take a week for myself I never get a vacation anyways)
    4. Diligence (Okay, let's apply for jobs. I got bills to pay.)
    5. Panic (FUCK! Nobody is responding to my applications! My bills are DUE!)
    6. Desperation (Accept the first job offer you get.)

    Did you at least get to install the noble DPRK operating system beforehand?

    The only thing worse than working is not having work.

    Hope this lasts exactly as long as you want it to. HMU if things get tight; you have helped me & I will help you.

    Non-American here (and I presume OP and many here are Americans): can I ask how do you survive unemployment? Are there social safety nets (I suppose no?) or government programs to help find jobs? How many months can one realistically last without a job?

    Anyway I wish you the best, comrade(s).
