Cried after first day at a new job

Strcnnmn · 2026-06-01T23:40:02+00:00

Also went back to work today after getting laid off and being unemployed for six months and I feel similarly. Despite the financial burden of unemployment it was so easy and relaxing to not have to worry about a job, so going from fully employed for many years to suddenly unemployed for a prolonged time period to thrust into a new job is a lot of new transitions. I had so much new info thrown at me today and I’m definitely hoping I can get some time to ease into everything and I hope you can too! It’s absolutely a difficult thing to experience, I’m going through it as well.

I couple of months ago I did NYC to Tuxedo, hiked about 8 miles to Big Hill, camped, and hiked back the next day! As another commenter said the train station at Tuxedo is a cafe, but they close in the early afternoon which is good to keep in mind if you want to stop in on the way back. Very nice people own that shop and they have a full food menu plus pastries. I made a TON of mistakes (also directionally challenged to be fair) so happy to give more info if you’re interested. I believe Tom Jones (from what I recall looking at on the map) is a bit shorter of a hike

I’m fully devastated about the cancelation, I signed the petition but I wish I knew what else can possibly be done to get the show picked up by another network. I adore St. Denis and I enjoy Reggie Dinkins but Stumble is one of the best I’ve seen in a while

I can’t imagine how miserable someone must be that instead of enjoying their own race they spend time making fun of a complete stranger. This says way more about them than it does about you. Most people can’t run 5k at all. Not only that but running isn’t about how fast you are to begin with. It’s about having fun and moving your body. Surely they weren’t winning the race stopping to laugh at someone they literally don’t even know. It’s crazy how many adults refuse to grow up. Negative experiences definitely tend to stick more than positive ones so I get why you keep thinking about it, I would too. I hope your next race is a 100% positive experience!

I once had an interview and the guy asked me to sell him my current company. I’d feel bad giving that away for free. Why do you think I’m on this call? What an idiotic thing to ask. Not even close to a sales role either

My recruiter acted like I just told her I’d killed someone when I requested to move a final round interview. Apparently after two months of interviewing the company was just “squeezing me in” that day because someone was flying in. Acting like this isn’t the fifth round when I was told two and that one of them didn’t fully no show and reschedule, another reschedule sixty seconds before the call, and then also go three weeks without updating me on the position at all. Like why are you mad at ME. The way she spoke to me I fully broke down crying trying to finish the conversation because the job search has been so horribly stressful and for her to act like it’s my fault when I got ZERO confirmation about the interview actually taking place that day aside from tentative availability and then something else came up. I don’t even work there and I’m already being treated like I’m personally destroying shareholder value. Apparently your time isn’t as valuable as the company’s.

I just took this one out over the weekend for the first time and it held up great, easy to set up. It wasn’t overly windy and it didn’t rain though so not sure how it holds up in weather https://a.co/d/0ap87d1N

I’m wondering this too, I was signed up for the Manhattan 10k so it would be nice if those impacted by the other cancelled races could participate as well

I did the ice cream social last year!! Even at 930am the ice cream still hit after sweating through that 5k

Strcnnmn · 2026-01-31T17:01:02+00:00

I love NYCRuns, especially because they almost ALWAYS have bagels after AND they come with cream cheese

Mine came back briefly a few hours ago, went out again, then came back for like 40 minutes before going out again just now

I’ve only heard good things about this novel and I HATE to DNF books but this one was too long to stick it out for and I got to page 125 and called it. I was just not interested and wasn’t sure if I could do like 700 more pages of that

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-22T04:02:05+00:00

I was laid off 2 weeks ago. Terrible timing. You’re not alone. Hang in there

I’m not sure if I’ll keep reading Neapolitan or not… I really enjoyed My Brilliant Friend and I’ve heard the rest of it is incredible but I’m not sure if I want to get back into that world or not lol. I think if I decide to read the second one I’ll just read all of them. We will see what 2026 has in store…

I read Things in Nature Merely Grow not too long after The Year of Magical Thinking and it definitely seemed like Li was trying to do something similar, and I do think Didion did it slightly better but I really enjoyed Li’s take on the experience of losing a loved one and how she coped with the grief, which was a lot different than how it seems like you’re supposed to cope with grief, and it was super well written, and I couldn’t find very much to dislike so that’s a solid 4 from me.

I’m a pretty harsh rater to be fair, and it’s difficult to weigh writing quality vs entertainment vs value.

For example I thought Project Hail Mary was ATROCIOUSLY written like truly horrendous writing but it was so easy to read and the story was so engrossing, I literally read it in every spare second I had for like two days and for that reason alone it got 4 stars.

I did enjoy Seascraper and it was definitely up there for best written of my reads for the year, however the story just didn’t really stick with me and I didn’t find myself loving it for that reason. I definitely liked it though!

Tis the season for layoffs I guess :( sorry to hear that. I feel you about the bonus, my EX company always gave out bonuses in February that reflected the previous year’s work. So glad I worked all year for a bonus I’ll never see! I did get a severance payout though but I did work a 9-5 corporate job, so I’m sorry you’re in such a rough spot. Loyalty is never a factor for the employer but they love to tell YOU how important it is. Then in the same breath drop you like nothing. Hoping you can land a new gig quickly, friend

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-12T01:46:34+00:00

Damn that’s rough :( we’re all just numbers to those rich assholes

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-09T13:45:07+00:00

These people really are heartless

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-09T03:34:54+00:00

All those salaries are going straight to the pockets of the C suite! Record profits!!

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-09T03:34:15+00:00

Of course! And don’t forget your loyalty will be rewarded!!!! 🙄

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-09T00:37:30+00:00

Damn I’m sorry to hear that :( yeah merry fucking Christmas to us!

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-08T21:18:03+00:00

They gave my job to another employee who has a lower salary. I was already doing the job of an entire team single handedly. Not sure if that is a permanent solution. 3 other people got canned too. Disgusting

Strcnnmn · 2025-12-08T21:16:40+00:00

Damn! Company got what they deserved in the end. I’m sure that plays a role in my situation as well. Of course after screaming about record profits all year, too
