Starting all over

[melodylogan45]

It is so sad when someone loses their job and have to start over. An employee lost their job yesterday and I know the tension will be in the air Monday because the rest of of us are going to be wondering, which one of us maybe next.

I have been through a job lost twice, so I know it it not easy, but we have to keep moving forward.

that is so true --when someone loses their job and if they have been there for a long time it makes it even worse a gal that works with me lost her job after 30 years there --they just up and got rid of the job completely --i try to think that there are better things coming for them !

[kimber62372]

That is so sad! Did that person deserve to be terminated? Companies and small businesses have no heart some times. I am sure they will be okay and I would not worry about losing your job because the Universe will work with you if you truly believe!

That has happened to me a few time's

I went through that like 40 times when I was in my 20's, but when I reached 40 I decided I hated it enough, that I started my own business and never lost another job again.

I have only lost one job, but when i think about it, it was for the best, i was not as happy as i should have been working there. But  God led me to another and better job.  One that i truly enjoyed doing. What gets me now is those who have been working for a company for years and then they  tell you that you are going to have to train a person not of the U.S. to take your job.  that i can not   believe in. Hope all of those who it happens to find Jobs they really like.

happened to me back in 2011 and had to take low-paying retail jobs to live and go on and off unemployment. Just started this year with a decent job back in July. But yeah its hard in your 40's as it sets you back

I've lost jobs a couple of times. It sucks, but I eventually was able to find good and steady work.

Loosing a job is always unsettling for those involved, not just the one that loses their job but everybody that remains in that employment. Sure they will be thinking "could I be next?" or "what criteria did they use and how does that reflect on me?", but of course a business' mission is to make money, and make themselves more profitable. Sometimes decisions have to be made to complete this mission and it should not be taken personally. I realise it feels totally personal when it happens to you and of course you never know when something like this could happen. So, live life having already done your homework. What would I do if I lost my job? Are my academics sufficiently attractive to be deemed highly employable? Is my resume reflective of my experience and talents? I used to work in recruitment and not a working day would go by where I didn't take the time to see what the job market was like.

I am sure that is not only extremely stressful for the person who lost their job but for the others of you as well.  I have been on both sides so I know it is hard.  I hope they are able to find a new job quickly and that the rest of you will be able to be secure in your jobs for a long time.

[elvisdo]

It is stressful. I've been on both ends of it.

I have never had to experience this because I was in my job for over 30 years and retired from it.  Recently Hurricane Matthew came through North Carolina and so many places were flooded and people have lost everything they own.  I feel so bad for them.

Doing Commercial Refrigeration for over 45 years, I was never fired but one time.

The guy who fired me was a jerk, and still is, but I have forgiven him and moved on. 

Now I am just an old retired guy.
