Congratulations dude! Also, fuck these people. They don't know what it's like to be unemployed. Have a great career ahead!
Lol will do!
You're an inspiration to me. I've been unemployed for three and a half months now. I swear some people look at inspirational stories and whine more.
They do for sure, and I don't want to take that from them. It's not my reaction. Mine is "fuck yeah!"
And I wish you the best of luck! It sucks out there.
My condolences
Disagree, I love what I do!

Congratulations, my dull brother! May us all find something soon!
Hell yeah!! And thank you!
Congrats! Watcha gonna do?
Business analytics executive at a health care adjacent company.
Just speedrun retirement if you can.
No no i want to enjoy all the time I have. Pretty hard to get more.
Hey that's the work you love!
It is! I'm that kind of nerd and love it.
This is more than what's asked for. But when my job is done just average much less poorly it regularly contributes to stripping the dignity away from those who have no voice or no say. It takes art, creativity, and compassion for people to put in the effort to do it right. And I love doing it right!
What are your thoughts on Luigi?
Legend! No questions asked.
The only thing worse than going to work is being unemployed.
Being unemployed is nice, actually. It is the money part that is problematic.
I've been lucky and found what I love to do in my 20s. Outside of one shit boss I've had a great time being employed. Nearly 50 now so a pretty good run.
Man you are old. I am barely 49. Still a long way to 50.
I have almost figured out what I want to do when I grow up. Right now being self-employed is working out.
🤣
And love it!
I figured out what I want to do when I grow up a long time ago. I just haven't figured out how to get paid for it.
Only 35 more years to go!
🤞
Damn, only eight weeks? I see that the job market is recovering. When I lost my job in November 2024, it took until May 2025 to find employment again!
For real, I just got hired again after 5 months and even then I feel lucky
Took me 6 months to find a job after i got laid off recently. Job market is terrible right now.
A year here. AI fucked up so much of what was a flawed but straightforward process.
A friend has been unemployed for 10 months, I think I just got lucky.
I just passed 13 months
Ouch, celebrating an unemployment birthday doesn't sound like any fun at all...
I'm getting by. The whole application process has become comical a few times. I'm assuming there's just a powerful consortium working against me. I've pondered, almost daily, taking my retirement fund and just finding a quiet and cheap space in Latin America.
Same-ish, going on 9 months this June. ;-;
Might be that OP is super awesome or just lucky. I'm no sort of authority, but all the layoff headlines I'm seeing lately make things seem so dire.
Maybe a bit of both but more luck
Congratulations and I'm sorry for your loss.
Congratulations!
Thank you!!
Hurray!
Please keep posting artwork
Thank you and I will! Just probably not as often. Back to 2 to 3 a week instead of 7+.
Hey, congratulations man! May it be everything you hope it is in a job.
Thank you! That's what I'm hoping for!
Congratulations!
Outstanding! Well done!

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
