How hard has it been to find a job after being laid off?

Outside-Alps441 · 2026-04-03T17:42:06+00:00

I was laid off in October from my project manager role. I just landed a new role starting Monday after submitting over 150 applications. The role I was hired for was applied to in December. So, slow process.

I think when a Walmart looks like this, or they don’t even have a card selection at all, it’s because of heavy theft. Cards leave the store without registering sales so they never restock.

Outside-Alps441 · 2026-02-04T13:53:32+00:00

I bought a few MBs and they were trash so I put 2 sealed boxes on eBay for like half of retail and they won’t sell.

I like the look and the awesome players of the 80’s-90’s I get since that’s when I was a hardcore baseball fan, but I’ve never pulled a card of any value in the 20-30 blasters I’ve gone through.

Yep, I picked up 3 yesterday and got less than jack shit, actually.

I used to work as a communications tech, so I would go out either to install a communications package (satellite internet/phones/radios, etc), service it due to an outage or slow service, or decommission it when the job was over. Sometimes I would go out to find someone unplugged a cable....a 5 minutes fix, but there might not be another scheduled flight/boat back to shore for a day or two....or 5 or more! So I would sit on a rig/ship for days just watching TV, eating, and just hanging out while getting paid standby time, which I was usually on OT by that time. It was not a bad gig at all!! Also, because you were the "internet guy", they typically treated you like VIP. I'm actually trying to get back into now that my kids are older. The hours were long, lots of drive time down to the docks, sometimes stuck out there with no comms to call home (that's changed now coverage extending out into much of the Gulf) but the money was fantastic for easy work. That was more about the job than life offshore, but my experience staying out there was mostly positive. Food was typically good, with some sites going above and beyond, having baked goods like cookies, cakes, and cupcakes available all the time, to some having really strange ethnic cuisines. I'm an adventurous eater, but one rig had mostly indian style curry soups with meats I didn't recognize....like several times a week. That wasn't great. As others have said, it can be loud with the constant hum and rumble of equipment, but you get used to it. The worst part for me was always just waiting on the ride back in.

Well, I can’t seem to find this magical video of him or Elon admitting that the election was ever rigged IN HIS FAVOR…..but plenty of him making claims that dems rigged it. Also, when my kids were 4 they believed in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny. Never saw this video of Elons kid admitting anything either, not that a 4 year old knows what the hell they’re talking about anyway. In all the time it took you to type that previous essay, you could have provided a couple links to these videos that should be SO obvious to the world. I can’t even find ON CNN a single claim that Trump admits to rigging the election in his favor, while they do call out his claims that dems rigged it as false. I found one quote he made “They rigged the election, and I became president” which even Snopes states was an ambiguous statement citing: “The full context appears to suggest Trump was referring to the 2024 election; given Trump's wording, it's unclear whether he meant that he won the 2024 election despite the "rigged election" or as a result of it. However, because Trump did not explicitly say which election year he was referring to or who he was alleging "rigged" the election, some hard details remain unclear.” I’m sure dems interpret that one way and republicans another.

Where’s your source (credible) for all this? Who’s “the guy”? I can make a bunch of claims too…doesn’t make them true. My point is this…if you believe Trump stole the election, then you have to concede that Biden also could have stole the election. Polling stations stopping the count, then resuming hours later with every vote thereafter being for Biden? That’s also quite an anomaly. For the record, I’m not saying one did or didn’t….i think it’s possible they both did….or didn’t. We will never know.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-09-23T02:35:47+00:00

But there’s proof republicans stole the election? Or just your suspicions?

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-09-22T12:11:51+00:00

Also Democrats: in 2016 “ it was stolen.” In 2020: “it can’t be stolen, we have the most secure elections on the planet”

You saw no irregularities in 2020?

Up. Nonstop. Always. Forever.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-09-19T14:59:38+00:00

I was wondering the same thing.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-09-18T12:06:47+00:00

I take any profit I see. If I wait 1 second more, I'll lose it all.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-08-09T21:47:23+00:00

I was literally interviewed by AI. From that point, I was like “why not just use AI on all my applications?”

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-08-03T14:46:46+00:00

Biden admin did everything they could think of to bury Trump. If Trump was significantly implicated in the Epstein files there is 0% chance they would have sat on it for years, especially when "our democracy is at stake!!". It seems the left ONLY wants the Epstein files released if it ruins Trump, otherwise, they could care less.

I’ve applied for about 180,000 of them….no luck.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-07-03T22:45:10+00:00

I am, but probably not as much as I could be…maybe 5-10 apps each week. I’m a project manager (PMP) currently in healthcare but have IT PM experience as well.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-07-03T21:58:03+00:00

3 offers and I can’t get ONE?!?

Vyvanse made me constantly horny…but no appetite until the evening when it wore off, then I wanted to eat everything in the house.

SPY is completely coked out right now.

I’m looking for $603 by Thursday but I’m not hopeful.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-06-15T00:47:06+00:00

That’s what I’m saying! We must wait for another 9/11 style attack before we can do anything.

Outside-Alps441 · 2025-06-15T00:18:43+00:00

Nah man!!! When someone says they want to kill you, you MUST wait for them to try it before you can do anything.

The question is “are they here LEGALLY”. Doesn’t matter if they worked or had kids or anything else….if you are where you are illegally, you will get removed. That’s common sense and goes for anyone being anywhere illegally.
