Yes and when lockdowns happen here it was devastating for us.

All funds depleted as our business closed down for over a year, however the expenses didn’t! We cut back on whatever wasn’t necessary but it was still an incredible struggle of not knowing if the business would ever recover.

Thankfully it did and even more successful so I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.

Sorry to hear about your hardship, I'm glad you made it through. Many were not so lucky.

Thank you 🫂

Yes I know, many were completely destroyed financially and emotionally.

Many families were sadly torn apart.

You are truly blessed! 🥰

My husband got laid off during lockdowns, which was nerve-wracking.

People think it's weird that I'm always working, when he earns so much income, but they don't see all the layoffs he's been through. His industry is always in flux. Been laid off 4 times and his current employer is now also downsizing... 😬

My income isn't as high as his, but it tends to be more stable and I get jobs faster because I'm not as expensive to hire.

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry this happened.

I sincerely pray that he survives the layoff, and to think I cannot get staff here!

The majority of unemployed people in my region just want to surf and smoke dope and sit around.

I’m not the only one losing a huge amount of work due to staff shortages, many are in the same boat, the government makes it way too easy to NOT work here.

Staff shortages are bad here, too, but the big industrial conglomerates are always moving factories overseas or "rightsizing" and some engineering jobs inevitably go with it.

I quit my job, to finish my college degree, last month and I've already had 3 serious job offers. People find out that I'm unemployed and are like 🤩.

But taking a new job would defeat the purpose of quitting the other one. 😂 Tempting, tho. I already miss having a salary.

Good on you on finishing your degree, fantastic!

Job offers will always come and even though you may miss the salary won’t be long before you start receiving it again and probably a lot more than before 🫡

💯
