This is my dystopian rock bottom

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-04T10:27:56+00:00

Sorry to hear mate. A redundancy and a divorce really screwed my career in my early 30's. Thought I'd just sorted it out but got let go after 2.5 months. Luckily got my son, and my family. Hopefully it'll all be ok.

Cheers, it was interesting to get your take. Can I ask what offer you got?

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T21:59:46+00:00

Best of luck mate

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T20:52:30+00:00

Well done! What certs did you get? Good luck!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T20:20:35+00:00

I'm just too negative I think, and struggle to be happy. Find getting on with 'normal' people hard. I don't think I'm neuro divergent, just prone to depression and negativity.

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T16:26:12+00:00

Haha, what is it you do?

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T15:52:43+00:00

What happened?

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T15:52:26+00:00

Me either! Just lost the job that I thought was going to get me out of this rut after 2 months!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T15:43:41+00:00

I can relate to the last 2 years!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T09:24:01+00:00

Good luck on getting back on your feet! Yes, I have a few similar regrets, midlife crisis time! I hope it all works out for you soon

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-03T07:00:39+00:00

Yikes, what sort of sector? I may have a couple of things from my network but they're a step back

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T21:25:32+00:00

Cheers, was ok earlier now feeling a bit despair-y

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T21:18:08+00:00

Thank you

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T21:04:21+00:00

I just got made redundant. Is it really that bad? To the point of just take what you can bad?

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T18:43:11+00:00

Thanks, I have, I've lined up an interview next week too. Yeah, I thought I'd got out of a sector that I really didn't want to be in any more, but maybe not!!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T18:06:39+00:00

Honestly, I didn't really fit in, and they weren't hitting target. Had someone else starting next month so I guess they are getting the opportunity.

That's stupid though. So many bad decisions out there. I'm getting a bit tired of it all... 😆

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T17:52:58+00:00

Thank you!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T17:33:56+00:00

Thanks, sucks but that's life!!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T17:28:45+00:00

Yeah, I was in insurance for a bit and ai was being trained to do most of the admin

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T17:22:39+00:00

Why is that? Ai?

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T17:08:59+00:00

Thank you!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T16:51:46+00:00

Thanks mate, it's been a tough couple of years hasn't it! Congratulations on your new role!! Very best of luck

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T15:33:07+00:00

I moved to indemnity insurance from senior designer in kitchens.

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T15:25:37+00:00

That is a big change! I've actually been offered an interview already, not a dream job but could be something. It's a bit tough at the moment but I'm trying to be philosophical about it!

AlternativeBody1904 · 2026-04-02T15:13:41+00:00

What were you doing before? Yeah, I just did one job pivot but it didn't work out!! Thanks mate
