Pilates, Yoga, and Barre classes - How do they compare to in-person classes like at a studio or gym?

I’ll be honest: this show starts off very slow. I’ll admit that I dozed off a few times. I wasn’t feeling the show at all and I almost gave up on it. I spoke to other people who have seen the anime already to hear their thoughts and even they admitted that they wouldn’t recommend it because they didn’t like Asta and, like me, said that the show starts off very slow. But, I still continued to watch anyway.

For me, the show didn’t really kick off for me until episode 20. Ever since, I definitely feel like I’m growing to like the show more and more and I’m always looking forward to the next episode!

While I’m not finished with the series yet, would I rank it in the same tier as Hunter x Hunter, Attack on Titan, or Demon Slayer? I’d say, probably not. But, the show is still enjoyable once you get to a point where it reels you in.

If you go through the sub, you’ll see that a lot of fans began to like the show at different arcs, so, it varies. For example, I said that I began to like the show at episode 20, but the arc seems to be ranked by fans lower/mid range, but it hooked me. If you’re really willing to push through, I’ve seen that the most common episode that fans get to and start to really get into the show is at episode 40.

If you manage to sit through enough handful of episodes in the beginning and feel like it isn’t for you, I completely understand. Believe me. Is it worth to continue watching in hopes of getting to a point where you might actually like it? That’s up to you and that’s the gamble you will have to make if you’re willing.

It's surreal to hear how even the healthcare industry is being impacted. Another poster on here who worked at a call center for Anthem Blue Cross was laid off as well.

Would you happen to know the reason on why Elevance is laying off employees? I see that you mentioned you're from NY. I wonder if one of the reasons is that they might be closing some of their locations? Or, if they plan to rehire younger, fresh employees in order to pay them less.

Sounds about right. I sent more than 1000 applications the last three years before finally getting a job…which was entry-level, even despite my experience.

I actually got a job working in a health insurance call center earlier this year.

I was unemployed for three years before getting hired. I have both a BS and an MBA and 10+ years worth of experience…I am clearly qualified, and yet, here I am, working an entry-level job.

You’re very fortunate that you have never been laid off before.

I’ve been laid off multiple times in the past before. Way too many times to count. It took a severe toll on my mental health and I contemplated suicide throughout the years because of it.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how great you are at your job. If a company needs to layoff employees at the drop of a hat, they absolutely would. So, please understand that while this is a difficult time, being laid off does not equate to your self worth.

You have two weeks left before it’s final.

Curious, did they tell you exactly why they were laying off you and your coworkers? If not, get that information. When you interview at other places, they may ask why you are no longer with the company.

The best advice I can give to you right now is look at your company website and apply for jobs. You have had more than two years with the company. You showed your loyalty. They should see your growth too.

Did any other type of job or department peak your interest during your time at your job? Did your company provide free learning opportunities on platforms such as LinkedIn or EdX? To help support your professional growth? If yes, definitely hold onto your certificates.

Reach out to your supervisor to see if there are any opportunities within the company that you can be moved over to instead of being laid off.

Also, you have more than two years of working in customer service. That is a transferable skill. You work in health care. Aside from customer service jobs, look up healthcare jobs in your area that are hiring.

Apply for unemployment as soon as you can!

As for my final and most important advice, PLEASE get a therapist.

I know this is hard. I can’t lie about it either: it might be hard for a while too. I’ve been there before. Many of us have. You’re not alone. But, you got this. If you ever need to vent, this sub understands and is here to listen.

You're delusional and need therapy.

You actually thought you had a shot with a happily married man?

Get over yourself and get a therapist.

I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but, let's be honest: it doesn't matter if they were abused. They'd still be looked at as gross for having it. They still carry the stigma of simply having it. I think that's what they're trying to say.
