#unemployed — Public Fediverse posts

hey…
could someone please help me out? despite being gifted, and trying my best to be kind to everyone, i've been badly abused, backstabbed, and traumatised multiple times by selfish or shallow people in my society.

i DO have a college degree in engineering, and i was originally interested in going to grad school to help make the world a better place, but… that dream seems far out of reach now.

i've been unemployed for quite some time now, and i was too shy to network during my time in college during and after the COVID pandemic years…

has anyone gone through a similar experience? ANY support would be much appreciated!

anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this…

well, so, I was separated from my CTO position... in a way that is just not ok.

my mistake was trusting a friend, which led to verbal agreements, leaving behind 2 decades of experience dealing with corporations, where everything must be done in writing.

one lesson I did not forget was keeping evidence of everything. and I am happy that I did.

before I go later with details about what happened, let the lesson be "talking about doing business, do not trust anyone. keep every agreement in writing and signed, even if your business partner lives under the same roof as you", and IMO that is not an exaggeration.

fortunately my former business partner does not live under the same roof as myself, but has a romantic relationship with someone who does, and somehow they also became involved in the business...

Tea coming later, eventually...

as of this week, I am yet again unemployed. anyone looking for a senior software engineer?

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/aug/07/english-primary-schools-to-be-told-to-identify-children-at-risk-of-future-unemployment. What utter nonsense is this? Yet another burden on #primary #School #teachers, another #fallacy in the "thinking" of #Labour #Ministers - namely that it's possible to identify #children aged 5-11 who might become #unemployed as #adults. Are we to "write off" entire #classes of #kids because of their #socioeconomic #backgrounds, is that it? And this from a "Labour" #Government!

Good news! I'm #unemployed! The plan is to spend several months being an idle layabout. Considering a career change, I fancy being a professional owl comber or something.

#DontGetFediHired

(OK, I might consider getting Fedihired if you've got a really fucking top notch job available that involves few hours, lots of money, interesting computer-wrangling, all while working in my pants at home)

Cheers! 🍻

Nobody needs to be #unemployed in this country.

You can always get a job sitting outside Burger bars asking for spare change.

So, this was my last day at work. Ultimatley very anticlimactic 😬 I'm now officially #unemployed. I'm very lucky that Switzerland has a somewhat functional system of unemployement benefits. Let's see how long my resolution to take the first few weeks as an involuntary #vacation until anxiety takes over.

Well, it's official. I've been #unemployed for over 24 hours. I've already started putting out applications, even before filing for unemployment - that'll be a task for tomorrow or Friday.

Seven and a half years of my life were dedicated to that company. It's not hard for me to say that they kept me alive through the 2020 lockdowns.

Now it's time to take my next step. I'd wish for luck, but I don't need that. I need a job that suits my experience.

I'm officially unemployed (again), and all my applications have ended as usual:

- Countless rounds of interviews, after which I get a modified offer, or silence.
- A trial period with low to no payment, after which they just find someone else.
- A message telling me they can't hire people in Venezuela due to unavailable payment gateways, inflation, etcetera.
- A twisted deal that is basically scam.

I'm tired of this. The IT job market is so shitty now. I don't know what to do.

Anyone want to hire my sister for remote work doing basically anything? Ah? Ah?

She needs skydiving money for mental health reasons, not even kidding.

"Sometimes the biggest shift in a society is not a new law or policy, but a change in how people interpret their own experience. Problems once understood as personal failure begin to look like shared conditions.

The cockroaches, it seems, are starting to count themselves." 🔥🔥🔥

@Climatehistories

In #India in May, Chief Justice #SuryaKant compared #unemployed #youth to “cockroaches” and “parasites” in a hearing

Well there's an interesting thing that happens when you use a slur against a group of people:

#Reappropriation

An insult flipped to a statement of pride

Now mere frustration among young Indians over #education, #jobs and the #economy has morphed into #protests and even a political movement:

#CJP
