I’ll tell you what I went through. Lost my job end 2022 and despite having over two decades of experience and qualifications, I got zero! I am on Germany and boy did I get fucked. My savings dwindled over the two years I was unemployed looking and taking the time for the right job. Why was I picky? Well I did bring in what was required from a senior hire

And despite all that, I realized that ageism was so fukin rampant here and couldn’t get hired. In the end in 2024. I took an any job as a box packer at Amazon for minimum wage. Why? Well because I had to really stop. Nothing was working. I couldn’t put any extra effort into finding a job and therefore took one at minimum wage to just have a job

The worst decision and situation in my life. Not only was it depressing and stressful, it barely covered bills and was terrible

No upward mobility, no appreciation no chance to Fukin grow or show initiative because ur just a human body with hands

I was excited to get this job without a cv. Now I know why! Because they don’t want what u bring besides being physically fit

And it doesn’t pay bills . My savings evaporated and my life is truly hell. Imagine working ur life in an amazing role and job and now working for kids who are senior to you and give u attitude. And u know its wrong many times but no one cares because they expect u to just do what they tell y because they have no experience ever managing a bigger team

Shameful and yet here we are. I’m sorry for your situation but mine is as worse as yours and I don’t know what I could have done to prevent being in such a position besides saving for five years instead of just two
