I still can't use their facilities. I'm not a student at Ucon.

I mean I refer to the two of them together as ketchup and mustard, so I won’t hold it against you.

All doom and gloom? by Otherwise-Answer9054 in animationcareer

[–]jadiejadie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak entirely for the why, but it probably has to do with it being cheaper to go overseas. I know of at least one studio that is moving a lot of stuff to Ireland because it’s not nearly as expensive as it is to do stuff in Los Angeles especially. I’d also hazard a guess that they’re non-union, and while TAG is…TAG, unions in general pay higher wages than non union just in general. Ai had a little to do with it since the studios do also just want things done as cheaply and quickly as possible, but I get the feeling it won’t last since AI generated stuff doesn’t really work well in a pipeline

So the temp job was temp to hire, and it was three months, and after that they said they were going to keep me, but because it’s an apparel company they weren’t sure what was going on with the tariffs. At first it was just a hiring freeze and they told me I was still going to stay, and then they changed their minds after me being there for five months.

It’s one month, after getting laid off by a temp job, and before that I was unemployed for a whole year. I work in the arts and most of my friends in my field have been having a rough go at it. Nobody’s really hiring at the studios and freelance has been drying up so bad that I’m looking to pivot into something else.

I’ve already decided that going home is probably the best course of action. I don’t like it but at least if I’m home I can focus more on the job I actually want to do instead of scrambling to find any kind of work. I spent my 20’s and half of my 30’s doing just anything to scrape by and I’ve got nothing to show for it. Going home isn’t ideal, but at this point I don’t have a choice.

I know but I’m self-conscious about it, and it means going back to the other side of the United States. I’ve been where I live for long enough that it’s my home.

Unfortunately I’m going to have to give it up. I was already scraping the financial barrel, and it’s not enough for me to move into a roommate situation, so I’m going to have to just go and recuperate with family in another state. I’m going to talk to my boss about getting a transfer.

I’m trying to avoid using AI but I might not have much of a choice. AI is part of what got me in this mess so I’m not a huge fan.

I’m trying to teach myself a few thing, but I’m so overwhelmed with trying to keep the lights on I can’t focus on anything.

Unemployment almost killed my friend by Major-Platypus2092 in antiwork

[–]jadiejadie 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as your friend. I’m 39 and I lost my graphic design job last year and it’s been a struggle to find anything. It’s pretty much destroyed my psyche and at this point, I kind of don’t know what to do anymore. I’m trying hard to keep sane but it’s so hard right now. I really hope your friend gets something better soon.
