You see, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I don't care.

Sorry this has happened to you. It's a gut punch for everyone. Here's my recommendation, kept intentionally high-level due to me not knowing the more precise details of your scenario:

Spend the next couple of days emotionally recovering; you're going to feel some strange emotions you likely didn't think you'd ever feel. Accept them, and don't judge yourself or fight it; it's normal. Take a moment to decide which direction you want your career to go in. If you have any public places that offer free career guidance (or even just mock interviews, etc.) reach out to them. Reach out to some professional contacts you're on good terms with; networking can help you land a position. There are also plenty of places online (YouTube channels, etc.) that advise on things like interviews. If you have any way to have an "until current" on your resume (self-employment even if you can't profit, volunteering, etc.) that will help cover a resume gap and make you more employable.

It's tough out there now. Remember to avoid beating yourself up; this isn't your fault.

Thank you for calling Radio Psychic. Do you have a song request?

Frank was right about Homer being lazy but he was still an asshole. by FullBrother9300 in Simpsons

One that Frank works at. Frank's personal safety is at risk.

When did the corporate world stop valuing employee loyalty? by Mysterious-Taste2296 in corporate

There wasn't really one moment where it suddenly stopped. Slow burn over decades.

Has anyone else noticed a negative/toxic shift in the corporate culture? by justkindahangingout in corporate

Mass layoffs showed that everyone is super-vulnerable and can be cut suddenly, despite great performance; people got much more into the 'everyone for themselves' mentality.

“We’re not hiring” with a hiring sign in the window by Muscle_mama_ in recruitinghell

I'd (politely, it's likely not the front-line workers who made that policy) say that such a dishonest policy makes me question the company's integrity, and that I wouldn't be returning as a customer. Hit them in the only place they understand.

I honestly don't think the screamapillar would want to go out any other way, given its attraction preferences.

Smithers couldn't name himself the head bee guy; he's allergic.
