Its easy to attack a person when their chips are down, I guess that is what sells these days. Karma is cold and the tables can turn against you in such a bad way that you wont ever recover. So be a bit humble man when judging this naive fellow who should have left earlier true but even many good quality people are facing this
At 55 and above, corporations are done with you. Was told this 40 years ago, nothing new. Have your money right by this age. You have 30 years to do so, it's doable
That sucks. The limit should be at 70 years old. Especially in seniority positions. I’ve seen young people get laid off while people 70 year olds keep working because the position and the money is good. Some jobs lose good young people who want to work for that exact reason. Unstable income pushes people away.
People should be as frugal as possible, invest every dollar they can into the market. People should be ready for when companies have bad quarters and start downsizing and moving positions overseas to increase profits for investors.
Corporations do hire after 50 BUT YOU BETTER BE BETTER THAN THE REST. I went through the process and was considered temporary but performed better than others (younger) whom they hired and I was made permanent.
I'm 56 and respond just as your Dad does. The minds and bodies of each of my siblings went to crap shortly after they retired. They are now literally mentally ill.
I always write my exit plan after 6 months of working for any company, after being laid off over 15 years ago..... the is no loyalty anymore since my father retired from General Motors after working there 45 years, those jobs DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE !!! wish him well
We need a global ban on new births for several years till we can balance too many people and too few jobs. We can get it done I'd we have the proper laws in place
Everyone doesnt "have it" like you do, Anton. How about extending grace to a man less fortunate than you are? Prayers to this man. He isn't the only one struggling in this climate.
I know plenty of corporates who have endless 'reorganisations' which is just a way to continually cull higher cost headcount to make space for cheaper incoming lower level entrants. Look at the age profile of any corporate... They don't represent the age profile of adults, its all younger skewed.
@@jackieboy1593 you think so? Thats weird when top thriving corporations are all following suit to make different investments. Unless you're speaking of hospitality and warehouse jobs
The problem is that he feels defeated. There is some self loathing involved too. But listen, my mother was able to re-enter the workforce just before her 70th birthday and makes more than me!!!!! It helps that she has more energy than some 20 year olds too! God is good. Seek Him first and He will give you what you need. Praying for this man!
Went to night school for four years for Electrical at age 59. Finished last year. Still working at my old career and doing part-time electrical to build up my hours.
Bad things still happen to good people. What were his options? Positive thinking is good but be realistic. You have no control over economic changes and life changes. Work hard and stay humble.
@@MsM-y3d thank you for your response. I think people don’t realize how mean and arrogant their comments are sometimes. I find it amazing how people believe “all I have to do is (fill in the blank.)” Work hard, be careful and be grateful.
These companies are way too picky with who they want to hire from the way look, dress, speak, where you live, etc. He’s better off working in the gig economy and hang it up
Completely agree. And he needs to also understand that Anton is available via Patreon, loool. I know he is tired of working, but he is a man, albeit zesty. No help is coming his way. He needs ro wake up.
Anton, you got to chill. The Man in the video is taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for his shortcomings and irresponsible Choices, no need to compound on. Offer Guidance if you can help. Peace
If he started earlier speaking about how awful the women in his life have been - his pockets would be deep! I suggest he starts that but - we already got many of these so theres that. I hope he finds a good balance in life soon .
I responded if he's truly depressed, go see the medical doctors and get that diagnosed. Once it's disgnosed he can collect SSDI (disability) from the SSA. He worked a very long time and that's what it's there for.
I can’t watch everyone around me get fired and just wait for the bullet to reach me. As a person that has seen ppl get fired around me, no matter how management and others try to convince me I am safe, I was uncomfortable. And as soon as an opportunity presented itself, I was gone. I am not waiting for that dreaded pack your boxes.
Folks like this usually believe that college education is going to save them and they have a false sense of security. Never paying attention to everybody and they momma has a degree these days and corporations pretty much can pick and choose the who, how, and when they work people these days.
I mean if the job you're working doesn't have a bona-fide 401k plan with stock options then 1 should seriously considering starting & laying the blueprint for their own business so when ax day comes 1 is ready to move forward on a new journey.
The red flags were everywhere. I've seen his videos. He was offended that someone told him to shave or dye his hair so he can appear younger to interviewers. I thought he looked older than 55. He became comfortable at his job. I've heard his thoughts from others
i was just recently unemployed due to a layoff, i was only unemployed for 3 weeks but it felt like an eternity. i can only imagine what 6 months of layoff will do a person psychologically.
That's how it goes once that money is gone. You first start getting into survival mode and after that here comes the depression. 😢 I've been there before that's why I stay on grind mode.
Why do people think they are owed to continue on the payroll when they aren’t needed anymore… employers don’t owe anyone anything other than a safe work environment and pay for hours/work completed
I know how it is to be an older man who nobody wanted to hire. So I hired myself. Nothing is stopping him from becoming self employed - even if it's just operating his own hot dog stand or his own mobile car detailing service or office cleaning service. Get your energy up to work for yourself and you won't have time to be depressed.
He should have been ready. He had plenty of years not to be in that situation. I worked a job that had a lot of layoffs and I’ve gotten laid off plenty of times. I made sure I had some money set aside and I was able to have fun and relax while I was laid off. Other people struggled and eventually left the company.
the world needs more positive and happy vibes. All the negativity and judgement you have on others is really sad. I’m gonna pray you find some peace in your life.
@Mkmspirit68 Get outta here with that judgemental crybaby BS. This fool was lazy and ddn't look elsewhere for 12 years. If you really are interviewing and keeping your skills relevant, you will find something in a few months.
The older you get the more difficult it is to get a job because of ageism. Since his video has over 89K views, hopefully someone saw it who can offer him employment.
Jobs don't care about you, I have seen people cut down in all stages of their career. As a nurse, I always had a plan B! Never rely on just your job!😁🤷🏾♀️😎
A high turnover rate is a huge red flag if you're thinking about working for a company. If a business can't keep people it's either mismanaged or it's a toxic workplace.
i know its not fair...age discrimination is hard to prove in the work force...im pushing 56... i can pass for 39 because i take care of myself and wear heels and not orthopedic shoes... i have been pretty successful finding jobs..it will help keeping year you graduated off your resume....dye your hair... shave... everything to make yourself look young..im not trying to change you, im just saying give the employers what they are looking for...at this age, your mortgage should almost be paid off....i have a balance of ($ 7,978) remaining
@Dee-nice_4 Do you think Fading Man will get hired though? I've been bald since I'm 30, about half my life ago. In my 50's I couldn't get hired because of a bogus assault (misdemeanor) on my record, and after I left the Army after 12 years of active duty. So then I used the GI Bill that and went to college, I earned it from being in the Army. I did it to help us (family) live, it pays your rent or mortgage. WHo wants to go to college when you're 46, that's when I started going back. And then I filed some injury claims with the Dept. of VA as well as working gig delivery jobs. I finished 20 years in the army throught the Army Reserves by age 54. My VA claims were approved about the same time. So I really didn't have to work anymore anyhow. But this man I'm seeing in the video will not have what was provided to me by the VA. But people really do, it's SSDI. Not everyone is going to get hired in a decent job, not everyone is like you!! One stupid thing on your record like assault (misdemeanor) and being bald could monkey wrench it all. And people 25 years old interviewing you could care less about you. At least that's the way it felt 5 years ago.
I have been offered a job at every interview I have ever done. 2 reasons prior military and i learn stuff about the company the interviewer dont know about the company they work for. I tell them cashflow, stock price quarterly info, hiring practices the company best years and worst along with who they competition is founder of the company any thing and everything the reason I want to work for the company i answer all interview questions before the interview even start.
Unfortunately, the dude is not alone. There is a book called "Who Moved My Cheese." The book is about how your job is forever changing, and people who get complacent will soon be out of a job. I required this book for my children. The book is 100 pages long(some people make youtube video of the book), but its impact was huge to many people around the world. Because of AI, we are going to see more people like dude.
Ageism is real. Companies will come up with all kinds of excuses to say you're underperforming while the making you train the younger workers. Karma comes soon to these evil people
That's another reason young people should join the military. It's a possible career but if not they get out with things like a college fund, and that includes your rent paid for about 3 years. And the possiblity of a VA home loan which means no money down. And the military on their resume puts them in the top in terms of experience at a young or at younger age.
Unless you’re in industries that hire older folks like construction/real estate, banking/finance, you can expect to get pushed out around 40. In tech, it’s 35.
Oh, god. I get his laziness, but he needs to understand nobody cares. At a certain age, just focus on your goals and get the advice where relevant. At his age, he should have learned
@shanesprecher8290 Loool. Come on, all jokes aside, I don't feel sorry for him. He isn't physically impaired. Mentally, cool, and he is zesty, but he can find the right people to become whole. I cannot get on his side. Like, he is nearly there, but fumbling. You don't want to work in your 60's or 70's
@@FFTsteel Life is different for us all, if you’re born smart you’ll probably end up as an engineer, lawyer etc… If you’re born large and are good with your hands you might end up in the NBA or NFL. Everyone else is going to have to struggle. When you get older it gets harder, corporations can hire two younger people for what they were paying you salary wise. Not to mention healthcare is going to cost a business more for an older worker. When your old you have to force yourself to stay physically fit and up to date with technology, a lot of people just don’t and that may be a natural process of aging. I know where you’re coming from but there are a lot of different factors. I wish him the best of luck.
@shanesprecher8290 I hear you and I understand. I actually agree. I just feel that this gentleman isn't around the right people. He needs the right people behind him. How we gonna facilitate that? We cannot, it has to come from him first. He needs to want to change up. He needs to lose weight, which should be number 1 on his list.
Doing the math he actually started that job at the age 43 years old. Unfortunately in America most need to start a career job with a good retirement package no later than 35 years old. People who start career jobs over 40 years old risk being in competition with a younger more advanced generation. Not saying starting a career over 55yrs old is impossible but it is very challenging in a unforgiving Job market.✌🏿
Companies are more likely to hire someone who already has a job because you are already deemed valuable. The longer you are unemployed the more concerning to a potential employer. Sadly and similarly, some women would rather steal a high value man in a relationship than find a single man.
By 55 you need to have your life setup where you don't need income from company. We know people don't like to pay older workers. All income past 55 should be fun money and padding the investment accounts. It is too late.
And retired military - many are in their early 40's and want a job anyway so they can live good and have a nice house. That's a good place to be. Young people should really consider this.
Great video. I worked a dead end government job for 7 years. It paid well and my job was very secure but I knew when it was time to leave. I left at age 47 and retired eight years ago. Not having a plan at 55 is amazingly stupid.
few days back i saw 'TheFadinMan' vdo, i was confused whether to sympathize or get annoyed with his lethargy for not taking any action despite knowing the situatuion. thanx bro for coming up with this react video. U'r bang on his attitude.
A true fact. Businesses and corporations, for the most part, are not nonprofit organizations. Their employees are their backbone and must be kept strong. Restructuring of this backbone is necessary from time to time. If you are a potential liability or not fitting in with their business plan, your days are numbered. They will find a legal way to get rid of you. I was hired by a corporation when I was in my 40s and worked all the way till my retirement age of 65. The only reason this happened is because I was doing my job very well and not because they were being considerate or doing me a favor. They needed me as much as I needed them.
That is a lot of RIFs to view during 12 years. I have seen whole divisions axed because they can't fire one bad apple. We are willing to let go all these great workers just to get rid of one.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how well you prepare, there’s aspects that go into to like who they have already premeditated on hiring, funding getting pulled last minute (offer called back), or employers not taking you serious as a candidate. That’s why it’s important to do business with people who want to do business with you. That’s why it’s vital to give your time to people who appreciate it.
I'm impressed that he was able to last 12 years at a job that kept the revolving door spinning. He knew that going in so why didn't he take care of his money business or at least find more stable work?
From what he's shared, his job interviews sound more like prayers. In one video he said that he asked one of the interviewers if he could "help me out."
What are willing to do? You can't always sit at a desk. I have been doing physical labor all my life. Never fails. You do what you need to do. Bag groceries pump gas whatever needed.
Uncle Anton : I do not feel sorry for this man. As a brother I have been laid off so many times from corporate america that I stopped counting. Malcom X said back in the 1970's that one day the chickens would come home to roost for the white man and his people. Black people have always gone through a series of layoffs and have had to find a way for fight back & struggle .
prettyysteeve47@ List the jobs that laid you off. Initially, I thought you were an old head. However, reading your comment and zeroing on the words “Uncle Anton” lets me know you’re young. There’s no reason as to why you should be using the word “Uncle” when talking about Anton
This is my 3rd factory, been laid off once. Could very well happen again. I look at layoffs as an opportunity to do something else. It is not the end of the world. I have a way better job now than the job i was laid off from. I learned from 2008 and in a way better financial spot. He should have learned from 2008.
I pulled the plug at 53 but it was planned since my 20's. I never liked work and knew I had to think and act differently from others to be able to leave the work fource earlier. I started listening to a show called Money Talk hosted by Bob Brinker in 1989. Started vering all money to the Total Stock Market index. I had planned to retire at 55 but my hospital where I worked IT for 20 year was aquired by another who's model was to contract IT service out which ment a 30% cut in pay and odd hours if you were picked up so I went at 53 in 2019. I hope this man had a decent saving but I will say to be able to pull the plug in your mid 50's in these super inflated times you have to max out your companies 401k in my case 403b, IRA and then creat taxable accounts to get you to fifty nine and a half to be able to touch your IRA. I've not had a car payment since 1990 and a smalle mortgage so this, and rental property income helped me save.
Yes. I've watched fading man. He's deeply self pitying and he wants the world to knock on his door and give him what he wants instead of going out there and getting it.
I've been watching this guy's videos for a week or so now. I just came upon him one day and have occasionally watched his "journey" to find a job. He seems genuine and I do feel for the guy, but the more I watch his (many) videos the more I question his motive as to why he's putting this out for the world to see. I don't know why he's doing so, and it's perplexing to me because I feel there is a hidden reason as to why he's doing this. Conventional wisdom would be to NOT say a lot of the things he's saying about job interviews he's gone on and giving his reasons as to why he's not getting hired. Personally, if I were him I wouldn't be putting myself out there - other than maybe to market myself, and I sure as HELL wouldn't be saying things like "I got mad" or "I am angry" or "They pissed me off" when NOT getting the job after having two or three interviews with a company. For OBVIOUS reasons, you might want to keep that stuff to yourself.
All i will offer as being someone over 55 is.... You know where you've been... You dont know where you could end up! One set back can change everything you planned. The point is if you fall down, get back up and continue living. This man is a baby boomer....he was bred different, but now he must change his outlook in order to survive.. i pray he will... Let's not judge... People all around are un aliving themselves.
Amen! 23 years E-7 pension at 57% and VA 100%+ that I don’t have to work for. I’m in the 5th year of a purposely taken 6 year rest/transition period. Gonna do something simple just to support my gun and automobile hobbies after it’s over. When folk down the armed forces, I just lettem talk.
I feel you, I joined at age 33, it was the Army. After 12 years I left active service but I went into the Reserves with a contract before I even got out. I was a SGT / E-5 and I served another 8 years in that grade. In a few weeks it's my birth month and I will be 60. My pension will start then. I was in a waiting period for the pension from age 54 when I retired to age 60. I am also paid VA military comp, a full rating. If I want to I can tell any boss to go you know where. So I chose retirement now. I play bass guitar I'm joining a band right now. And I can give my kids my time whenever I'm available. And that is a lot, it is everything really.
Life is all about choices. Poor choices usually lead to poor lives in so many different ways. I'm happy I've made mostly good financial and career choices over my lifetime and so far am in a good position at age 56. Best advice: Never depend on any company, person, or government to take care of you.
AGREED.Don't depend on any company or government to help you out. This is why I did contracting work over-seas ( Iraq,Kuwaitt,Qatar & Afghanistan ) first I was doing mercenary work,then logistics,did this for 11 yrs & 3 months.The reason I stopped this work was because the US military got kicked outta Afghanistan,so us contracters had to bounce too. LOL. And I sure didn't want to return to america,I'd rather keep hunting down terrorists/insurgents. LOL. Been back in the states for almost 2 yrs now and just now getting adjusted to being around civilians,I'm used to working with other mercenaries,US military and other contracters.Planning and doing missions against insurgents,which I LOVED.Work at my local VA hospitol now ( I'm a veteran ) and I'm very-BORED-used to doing dangerous stuff most days. But,it's okay,I guess.
I work in manufacturing for 45 years. It all when overseas for cheaper labor. If you can enroll in a government program that will help pay for your CDL license. As classB driver you can make $18 to $28 or more an hour. Reality is foreigners in America gets free training programs paid by the government takes American jobs from us. I’m not bad mouthing the non American and younger Americans CDL drivers out there on the highway and roads but they have the high risk of accidents.
Unfortunately, I only see his videos as a "cry for help" that he feels defeated and stuck in a hopeless and unwinnable situation and already convinced himself that it won't end well. He's in mid 50's, living alone, feeling depressed and hopeless which is a "perfect storm" for a tragic end unless the man gets some help from the outside. Yes, I mean suicide regarding the "tragic end" as recent statistics show most suicides are committed by middle aged White men in USA.
Even if someone stayed at a bad employer for years, one could still do well just by consistently contributing to pre and post retirement accounts. There is never an excuse to blame a job; not even a side-hustle job. I work a second contracting job and they offer a 401K. Even though that job gives me minimal hours, I STILL opened my 401K (with them) and contribute. My REAL job, I will be getting a pension etc as it is a local-government job. Start saving for your retirement, regardless of your employer or a crappy retirement plan.
"Fading Man": Who would hire someone who goes online complaining about the companies who didn't hire them and the companies who fired him? I wouldn't and have told him such, but he refuses to listen. Enjoy continued unemployment...
People should be as frugal as possible, STAY OUT OF DEBT! INVEST every dollar they can into the market. People should be ready for when companies have bad quarters and start downsizing and moving positions overseas to increase profits for investors.
Layoff's happen. This goes to the concept of "Average" which has a huge effect where everyone at work is your competition. "Average" is a mathematical point in the middle where half the people are "Above Average" and the other half are "Below Average", no one is "Average". I found this concept true when I worked, the Above Average half did well, developed more skills, gained higher salaries and the Below Average half fell behind, subject to layoffs, missed promotions and lower salaries. I was never the best but always strived to be in the Above Average half and did OK. If you are a Boomer in the Below average half, bad news, It's Too Late.
If you are laid off in the year you turn 55, you can take money out of 401K without paying the penalty. You will still have to pay taxes on it but no penalty. So if you have very low expenses and enough set aside you can semi-retire and work part time, this may get you to the maximum of social security to wait until maximum age.
Just collect SSDI for depression. No brainer really. All he needs is a doctors diagnosis and the fact that he isn't going to get hired. It's over 2 grand a month go get it!!
The sad thing is by statistics this will probably be a majority of Americans by 2050. I will say moving up in a company/world is sometimes impossible I've seen people get past over by attractive looks,family or friends, or just got done dirty by the company
@@joepic85 Yep when you work your whole life in an office, for others there's really no chance that you're going to be an entrepreneur, unless you have a couple hundred thousand dollars for a start up and a burning desire - idea and the drive and energy to work 14 hour days.
If you see mass layoffs around you at a job do your 10 if you can but apply for another job it’s easier to get a new job from another job and don’t let your self get unemployed it’s harder to get a job when your unemployed
At his age he should have a decent emergency fund as well as assets to cover him for at least a year with the goal being to have enough to be able to retire early if thats your choice.. At 55 the target is on your back in corporate America. Know it and plan accordingly.
😢 Anton wants this dude to be on da ball with organized LinkedIn, Resume profile, editing profile, Facebook job creation profile, and have his bank accounts jumpin earning 3k a month, this guy is a usps Night shift processing forklift driver.
12 years? That’s a very very good stretch. We’ll be lucky to get 3-5 years out of a descent job nowadays. He thought he’d be an exception. The 401k or savings account should have put him in a position to start his own business after year 10.
I'm glad my job cares about their employees and they have a very low turnover rate and they have a wall with employees have been there for 20 to 30 years plus
He knew company lays people off and now hes mad cause hes laid off. I get it, but at 55 may be harder now to get a job with good company cause he is over weight and will cost company more $ for health insurance down the road if he has some medical issues, says versus a 25 year old with no health issues. i have been fired before found job 3 weeks later was not dream job but busted my ass to find one cause I have family. People need to stop complaining on internet, life is hard and no one gives a fuck, only you can make the changes, and dude needs to see shrink if he is depressed will only get worse
It can be hard to overcome negative emotions for people who's expectations about the job were never truly realistic. It's a fantasy to retire and be happy, we have to find a way to progress. That's the bottom line, jobs give our power to someone else's cash cow. Moooo
I'm a 54 year old Gen X white dude like him. It seems to me like he is late to the party. If you know what I'm getting at. He was educated in the States....

50? More like 40
Corporations don't hire past 50 years but we have ELDERLY PEOPLE in GOVERNMENT and making decisions that are destroying our futures. INCREDIBLE!
Yeah but they're crooks
I agree ...... selfish old boomers
Corporations do hire after 50 BUT YOU BETTER BE BETTER THAN THE REST. I went through the process and was considered temporary but performed better than others (younger) whom they hired and I was made permanent.
They're bitter they are useless in the private sector. So they punish the productive.

No sympathy.
Nah, this fool saw the writing on the wall for 12 years, he just didn't do shit. We don't have pity for the lazy. Sloth is a deadly sin for a reason.
Do the MATH!...25 layoffs in 12 years? That's a layoff every 6 months. WHO in their right mind stays with a company like that.
Every corporate job is like that now. Both public and private.
I know plenty of corporates who have endless 'reorganisations' which is just a way to continually cull higher cost headcount to make space for cheaper incoming lower level entrants. Look at the age profile of any corporate... They don't represent the age profile of adults, its all younger skewed.
@@id-10-terror7 No, not every corporate job is threatening layoffs every 6 months. Dying industries do that.
@@jackieboy1593 you think so? Thats weird when top thriving corporations are all following suit to make different investments. Unless you're speaking of hospitality and warehouse jobs
@@id-10-terror7 Things happen in cycles. Best to work remote at a few jobs to diversify income streams.
The problem is that he feels defeated. There is some self loathing involved too. But listen, my mother was able to re-enter the workforce just before her 70th birthday and makes more than me!!!!!

Best comment I hope he comes across your inspiring words of advice ✌️
@@MsM-y3d thank you for your response. I think people don’t realize how mean and arrogant their comments are sometimes. I find it amazing how people believe “all I have to do is (fill in the blank.)” Work hard, be careful and be grateful.
Right.
His option was to apply daily during that 12 years. He didn't try shit!
I think he should lose weight first, that will boost his confidence and will help him land his next job
These companies are way too picky with who they want to hire from the way look, dress, speak, where you live, etc. He’s better off working in the gig economy and hang it up
He's feeling sorry for himself and on the internet seeking other depressed people
Completely agree. And he needs to also understand that Anton is available via Patreon, loool. I know he is tired of working, but he is a man, albeit zesty. No help is coming his way. He needs ro wake up.
@@FFTsteel😂😂😂
Anton, you got to chill. The Man in the video is taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for his shortcomings and irresponsible Choices, no need to compound on. Offer Guidance if you can help. Peace
😂😂😂 I knew he was gone chew him up
Man, you know how Aton is🤦🏾
No he don’t. He didn’t improve for 12 years
If he started earlier speaking about how awful the women in his life have been - his pockets would be deep! I suggest he starts that but - we already got many of these so theres that. I hope he finds a good balance in life soon .
Nah, this fool saw the writing on the wall for 12 years, he just didn't do shit. We don't have pity for the lazy. Sloth is a deadly sin for a reason.
he needs to be presentable and be healthy looking. thats gonna help him with the future interviews
I agree
I responded if he's truly depressed, go see the medical doctors and get that diagnosed. Once it's disgnosed he can collect SSDI (disability) from the SSA.
He worked a very long time and that's what it's there for.
Unhealthy attachments to jobs needs to be talked about more. They got him, but he allowed it.
I can’t watch everyone around me get fired and just wait for the bullet to reach me. As a person that has seen ppl get fired around me, no matter how management and others try to convince me I am safe, I was uncomfortable. And as soon as an opportunity presented itself, I was gone. I am not waiting for that dreaded pack your boxes.
Folks like this usually believe that college education is going to save them and they have a false sense of security. Never paying attention to everybody and they momma has a degree these days and corporations pretty much can pick and choose the who, how, and when they work people these days.
I mean if the job you're working doesn't have a bona-fide 401k plan with stock options then 1 should seriously considering starting & laying the blueprint for their own business so when ax day comes 1 is ready to move forward on a new journey.
The red flags were everywhere. I've seen his videos. He was offended that someone told him to shave or dye his hair so he can appear younger to interviewers. I thought he looked older than 55. He became comfortable at his job. I've heard his thoughts from others
i was just recently unemployed due to a layoff, i was only unemployed for 3 weeks but it felt like an eternity. i can only imagine what 6 months of layoff will do a person psychologically.
Always remember that these companies don’t care about you…
That's how it goes once that money is gone. You first start getting into survival mode and after that here comes the depression. 😢 I've been there before that's why I stay on grind mode.
Why do people think they are owed to continue on the payroll when they aren’t needed anymore… employers don’t owe anyone anything other than a safe work environment and pay for hours/work completed
A low self esteem will have you staying in shitty situations
I know how it is to be an older man who nobody wanted to hire. So I hired myself. Nothing is stopping him from becoming self employed - even if it's just operating his own hot dog stand or his own mobile car detailing service or office cleaning service. Get your energy up to work for yourself and you won't have time to be depressed.
He should have been ready. He had plenty of years not to be in that situation. I worked a job that had a lot of layoffs and I’ve gotten laid off plenty of times. I made sure I had some money set aside and I was able to have fun and relax while I was laid off. Other people struggled and eventually left the company.
AGREED.Always have plenty of money saved for emergencies and getting laid off your job is an emergency.
the world needs more positive and happy vibes. All the negativity and judgement you have on others is really sad. I’m gonna pray you find some peace in your life.
Right, he’s always judging and looking down, and there’s zero evidence that he’s this super successful multi millionaire he claims to be.
@Mkmspirit68 Get outta here with that judgemental crybaby BS. This fool was lazy and ddn't look elsewhere for 12 years. If you really are interviewing and keeping your skills relevant, you will find something in a few months.
The older you get the more difficult it is to get a job because of ageism. Since his video has over 89K views, hopefully someone saw it who can offer him employment.
Bro there is a recession even the big four i.e. PWC and others have offered severance packages. This ain’t funny. Everyone getting let go.
Jobs don't care about you, I have seen people cut down in all stages of their career. As a nurse, I always had a plan B! Never rely on just your job!😁🤷🏾♀️😎
A high turnover rate is a huge red flag if you're thinking about working for a company. If a business can't keep people it's either mismanaged or it's a toxic workplace.
i know its not fair...age discrimination is hard to prove in the work force...im pushing 56... i can pass for 39 because i take care of myself and wear heels and not orthopedic shoes... i have been pretty successful finding jobs..it will help keeping year you graduated off your resume....dye your hair... shave... everything to make yourself look young..im not trying to change you, im just saying give the employers what they are looking for...at this age, your mortgage should almost be paid off....i have a balance of ($ 7,978) remaining
You are a woman
You have it easy street from birth
You absolutely no idea what men go through on a daily basis .
If you look about 40 you probably won't get the job though.
@Dee-nice_4 Do you think Fading Man will get hired though?
I've been bald since I'm 30, about half my life ago. In my 50's I couldn't get hired
because of a bogus assault (misdemeanor) on my record, and after I left the Army after 12 years of active duty. So then I used the GI Bill that and went to college, I earned it from being in the Army. I did it to help us (family) live, it pays your rent or mortgage. WHo wants to go to college when you're 46, that's when I started going back.
And then I filed some injury claims with the Dept. of VA as well as working gig delivery jobs.
I finished 20 years in the army throught the Army Reserves by age 54. My VA claims were approved about the same time. So I really didn't have to work anymore anyhow. But this man I'm seeing in the video will not have what was
provided to me by the VA. But people really do, it's SSDI. Not everyone is going to get hired in a decent job, not everyone is like you!!
One stupid thing on your record like assault (misdemeanor) and being bald could monkey wrench it all. And people 25 years old interviewing you could care less about you. At least that's the way it felt 5 years ago.
@Dee-nice_4 💯
Appreciate it Dee-nice, and I agree you're spot on.
I have been offered a job at every interview I have ever done. 2 reasons prior military and i learn stuff about the company the interviewer dont know about the company they work for. I tell them cashflow, stock price quarterly info, hiring practices the company best years and worst along with who they competition is founder of the company any thing and everything the reason I want to work for the company i answer all interview questions before the interview even start.
Yoo I'm using these tips
Damn... 25 Layoffs??? What type of Company is it... what type of Work Does He Do... 🤔
Tomorrow is not promised
🙌🏿
Unfortunately, the dude is not alone. There is a book called "Who Moved My Cheese." The book is about how your job is forever changing, and people who get complacent will soon be out of a job. I required this book for my children. The book is 100 pages long(some people make youtube video of the book), but its impact was huge to many people around the world. Because of AI, we are going to see more people like dude.
Ageism is real. Companies will come up with all kinds of excuses to say you're underperforming while the making you train the younger workers. Karma comes soon to these evil people
That's another reason young people should join the military. It's a possible career
but if not they get out with things like a college fund, and that includes your rent paid
for about 3 years. And the possiblity of a VA home loan which means no money down.
And the military on their resume puts them in the top in terms of experience
at a young or at younger age.
Nobody is going to hire someone who comes in balling their eyes out during an interview
Unless you’re in industries that hire older folks like construction/real estate, banking/finance, you can expect to get pushed out around 40. In tech, it’s 35.
I started cybersecurity at @35 but already had my own business & a military veteran. It's been great for me!
Really - that is ridiculous.
Oh, god. I get his laziness, but he needs to understand nobody cares. At a certain age, just focus on your goals and get the advice where relevant. At his age, he should have learned
He’s better off joining the Amish. They actually still care about the old, I guarantee you he’ll have plenty of work.
@shanesprecher8290 Loool. Come on, all jokes aside, I don't feel sorry for him. He isn't physically impaired. Mentally, cool, and he is zesty, but he can find the right people to become whole. I cannot get on his side. Like, he is nearly there, but fumbling. You don't want to work in your 60's or 70's
@@FFTsteel Life is different for us all, if you’re born smart you’ll probably end up as an engineer, lawyer etc… If you’re born large and are good with your hands you might end up in the NBA or NFL. Everyone else is going to have to struggle.
When you get older it gets harder, corporations can hire two younger people for what they were paying you salary wise. Not to mention healthcare is going to cost a business more for an older worker. When your old you have to force yourself to stay physically fit and up to date with technology, a lot of people just don’t and that may be a natural process of aging. I know where you’re coming from but there are a lot of different factors. I wish him the best of luck.
@shanesprecher8290 I hear you and I understand. I actually agree. I just feel that this gentleman isn't around the right people. He needs the right people behind him. How we gonna facilitate that? We cannot, it has to come from him first. He needs to want to change up. He needs to lose weight, which should be number 1 on his list.
@@FFTsteel You nailed it 👍
Doing the math he actually started that job at the age 43 years old. Unfortunately in America most need to start a career job with a good retirement package no later than 35 years old. People who start career jobs over 40 years old risk being in competition with a younger more advanced generation. Not saying starting a career over 55yrs old is impossible but it is very challenging in a unforgiving Job market.✌🏿
Companies are more likely to hire someone who already has a job because you are already deemed valuable. The longer you are unemployed the more concerning to a potential employer. Sadly and similarly, some women would rather steal a high value man in a relationship than find a single man.
By 55 you need to have your life setup where you don't need income from company. We know people don't like to pay older workers. All income past 55 should be fun money and padding the investment accounts. It is too late.
By 55 you should be self-employed at least part-time
And retired military - many are in their early 40's and want a job anyway so they can
live good and have a nice house. That's a good place to be. Young people should
really consider this.
Unfortunately He made his own bed. Ain't no Loyalty out here. SMH.
Great video. I worked a dead end government job for 7 years. It paid well and my job was very secure but I knew when it was time to leave. I left at age 47 and retired eight years ago. Not having a plan at 55 is amazingly stupid.
Of course you always had good experiences at interviews. You are a natural extrovert. Not everyone is like you.
few days back i saw 'TheFadinMan' vdo, i was confused whether to sympathize or get annoyed with his lethargy for not taking any action despite knowing the situatuion.
thanx bro for coming up with this react video. U'r bang on his attitude.
A true fact. Businesses and corporations, for the most part, are not nonprofit organizations. Their employees are their backbone and must be kept strong. Restructuring of this backbone is necessary from time to time. If you are a potential liability or not fitting in with their business plan, your days are numbered. They will find a legal way to get rid of you. I was hired by a corporation when I was in my 40s and worked all the way till my retirement age of 65. The only reason this happened is because I was doing my job very well and not because they were being considerate or doing me a favor. They needed me as much as I needed them.
😂😂😂 shout out to the fade man
I HAVE ALREADY BEEN AWARE OF THIS VIDEO
I WATCH IT EVERYDAY TO KEEP MOTIVATED
TO NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION
That is a lot of RIFs to view during 12 years. I have seen whole divisions axed because they can't fire one bad apple. We are willing to let go all these great workers just to get rid of one.
I give companies about 18 to 26 months before im already booking interviews for the next job
lmfao same. Its the only way to beat inflation now a days
managers crying "wE cAnt Find anYONE"
Was getting paid 24 per hour when the market rate was 32.
Every performance meeting I would say "look im doing 24/h worth of work and if you dont like it fuck right off"
the best was when I was making 17 per hour and then came at me with "Here is your 10% raise" which ends up being 1.50
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how well you prepare, there’s aspects that go into to like who they have already premeditated on hiring, funding getting pulled last minute (offer called back), or employers not taking you serious as a candidate. That’s why it’s important to do business with people who want to do business with you. That’s why it’s vital to give your time to people who appreciate it.
I'm impressed that he was able to last 12 years at a job that kept the revolving door spinning. He knew that going in so why didn't he take care of his money business or at least find more stable work?
Working in fear for 5 years is Krazy 😅
Lol 😂😂😂😂
From what he's shared, his job interviews sound more like prayers. In one video he said that he asked one of the interviewers if he could "help me out."
He became complacent.
What are willing to do? You can't always sit at a desk. I have been doing physical labor all my life. Never fails. You do what you need to do. Bag groceries pump gas whatever needed.
Uncle Anton : I do not feel sorry for this man. As a brother I have been laid off so many times from corporate america that I stopped counting. Malcom X said back in the 1970's that one day the chickens would come home to roost for the white man and his people. Black people have always gone through a series of layoffs and have had to find a way for fight back & struggle .
What job are you in that keeps getting you laid off? Getting laid off ain’t a race thing. It’s a skill and where it’s needed thing.
Getting laid off isn’t a race thing.
prettyysteeve47@ List the jobs that laid you off. Initially, I thought you were an old head. However, reading your comment and zeroing on the words “Uncle Anton” lets me know you’re young. There’s no reason as to why you should be using the word “Uncle” when talking about Anton
To some, anytime there's a failure it's because of their race.
This is my 3rd factory, been laid off once. Could very well happen again. I look at layoffs as an opportunity to do something else. It is not the end of the world. I have a way better job now than the job i was laid off from. I learned from 2008 and in a way better financial spot. He should have learned from 2008.
Had an acquaintance who loved getting laid off in the spring / summer. I got a lazy nephew who does the same thing.
I pulled the plug at 53 but it was planned since my 20's. I never liked work and knew I had to think and act differently from others to be able to leave the work fource earlier. I started listening to a show called Money Talk hosted by Bob Brinker in 1989. Started vering all money to the Total Stock Market index. I had planned to retire at 55 but my hospital where I worked IT for 20 year was aquired by another who's model was to contract IT service out which ment a 30% cut in pay and odd hours if you were picked up so I went at 53 in 2019. I hope this man had a decent saving but I will say to be able to pull the plug in your mid 50's in these super inflated times you have to max out your companies 401k in my case 403b, IRA and then creat taxable accounts to get you to fifty nine and a half to be able to touch your IRA. I've not had a car payment since 1990 and a smalle mortgage so this, and rental property income helped me save.
You literally spoke it into existence
Yes. I've watched fading man. He's deeply self pitying and he wants the world to knock on his door and give him what he wants instead of going out there and getting it.
Hopefully this man can get the help that he needs
100% if he works remotely there’s lots of boppin the baloney happening on company time
I've been watching this guy's videos for a week or so now. I just came upon him one day and have occasionally watched his "journey" to find a job. He seems genuine and I do feel for the guy, but the more I watch his (many) videos the more I question his motive as to why he's putting this out for the world to see. I don't know why he's doing so, and it's perplexing to me because I feel there is a hidden reason as to why he's doing this. Conventional wisdom would be to NOT say a lot of the things he's saying about job interviews he's gone on and giving his reasons as to why he's not getting hired. Personally, if I were him I wouldn't be putting myself out there - other than maybe to market myself, and I sure as HELL wouldn't be saying things like "I got mad" or "I am angry" or "They pissed me off" when NOT getting the job after having two or three interviews with a company. For OBVIOUS reasons, you might want to keep that stuff to yourself.
His thumbnail critique 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All i will offer as being someone over 55 is.... You know where you've been... You dont know where you could end up! One set back can change everything you planned. The point is if you fall down, get back up and continue living. This man is a baby boomer....he was bred different, but now he must change his outlook in order to survive.. i pray he will... Let's not judge... People all around are un aliving themselves.
so glad i joined the military straight outta high school, worse come to worse i got a guarantee income source commin from there
Amen! 23 years E-7 pension at 57% and VA 100%+ that I don’t have to work for. I’m in the 5th year of a purposely taken 6 year rest/transition period. Gonna do something simple just to support my gun and automobile hobbies after it’s over. When folk down the armed forces, I just lettem talk.
I feel you, I joined at age 33, it was the Army. After 12 years I left active service but
I went into the Reserves with a contract before I even got out. I was a SGT / E-5 and I served another 8 years in that grade. In a few weeks it's my birth month and I will be 60. My pension will start then. I was in a waiting period for the pension from age 54 when I retired to age 60.
I am also paid VA military comp, a full rating. If I want to I can tell any boss to go you know where. So I chose retirement now. I play bass guitar I'm joining a band right now.
And I can give my kids my time whenever I'm available. And that is a lot, it is everything really.
Life is all about choices. Poor choices usually lead to poor lives in so many different ways. I'm happy I've made mostly good financial and career choices over my lifetime and so far am in a good position at age 56. Best advice: Never depend on any company, person, or government to take care of you.
AGREED.Don't depend on any company or government to help you out. This is why I did contracting work over-seas ( Iraq,Kuwaitt,Qatar & Afghanistan ) first I was doing mercenary work,then logistics,did this for 11 yrs & 3 months.The reason I stopped this work was because the US military got kicked outta Afghanistan,so us contracters had to bounce too. LOL. And I sure didn't want to return to america,I'd rather keep hunting down terrorists/insurgents. LOL. Been back in the states for almost 2 yrs now and just now getting adjusted to being around civilians,I'm used to working with other mercenaries,US military and other contracters.Planning and doing missions against insurgents,which I LOVED.Work at my local VA hospitol now ( I'm a veteran ) and I'm very-BORED-used to doing dangerous stuff most days. But,it's okay,I guess.
I work in manufacturing for 45 years. It all when overseas for cheaper labor. If you can enroll in a government program that will help pay for your CDL license. As classB driver you can make $18 to $28 or more an hour. Reality is foreigners in America gets free training programs paid by the government takes American jobs from us. I’m not bad mouthing the non American and younger Americans CDL drivers out there on the highway and roads but they have the high risk of accidents.
This guy is really soft. No energy, no drive, no confidence. He should have been gone. Years before and moved on
Unfortunately, I only see his videos as a "cry for help" that he feels defeated and stuck in a hopeless and unwinnable situation and already convinced himself that it won't end well. He's in mid 50's, living alone, feeling depressed and hopeless which is a "perfect storm" for a tragic end unless the man gets some help from the outside. Yes, I mean suicide regarding the "tragic end" as recent statistics show most suicides are committed by middle aged White men in USA.
He should get a treadmill , now that his off, better health👍

@@nreed7718I need to exercise myself 😂😂❤❤ I love 💕 to eat!!
Even if someone stayed at a bad employer for years, one could still do well just by consistently contributing to pre and post retirement accounts. There is never an excuse to blame a job; not even a side-hustle job. I work a second contracting job and they offer a 401K. Even though that job gives me minimal hours, I STILL opened my 401K (with them) and contribute. My REAL job, I will be getting a pension etc as it is a local-government job. Start saving for your retirement, regardless of your employer or a crappy retirement plan.
"Fading Man": Who would hire someone who goes online complaining about the companies who didn't hire them and the companies who fired him? I wouldn't and have told him such, but he refuses to listen. Enjoy continued unemployment...
People should be as frugal as possible, STAY OUT OF DEBT! INVEST every dollar they can into the market. People should be ready for when companies have bad quarters and start downsizing and moving positions overseas to increase profits for investors.
Layoff's happen. This goes to the concept of "Average" which has a huge effect where everyone at work is your competition. "Average" is a mathematical point in the middle where half the people are "Above Average" and the other half are "Below Average", no one is "Average". I found this concept true when I worked, the Above Average half did well, developed more skills, gained higher salaries and the Below Average half fell behind, subject to layoffs, missed promotions and lower salaries. I was never the best but always strived to be in the Above Average half and did OK. If you are a Boomer in the Below average half, bad news, It's Too Late.
If you are laid off in the year you turn 55, you can take money out of 401K without paying the penalty. You will still have to pay taxes on it but no penalty. So if you have very low expenses and enough set aside you can semi-retire and work part time, this may get you to the maximum of social security to wait until maximum age.
Just collect SSDI for depression. No brainer really. All he needs is a doctors diagnosis
and the fact that he isn't going to get hired. It's over 2 grand a month go get it!!

55 is a bad time to be unemployed. He needs to go entreprenuerial at this point.
He can collect SSDI for depression. All he needs is a doctor's diagnosis.

@@joepic85 Yep when you work your whole life in an office, for others
there's really no chance that you're going to be an entrepreneur, unless
you have a couple hundred thousand dollars for a start up and a burning desire -
idea and the drive and energy to work 14 hour days.
If you see mass layoffs around you at a job do your 10 if you can but apply for another job it’s easier to get a new job from another job and don’t let your self get unemployed it’s harder to get a job when your unemployed
At his age he should have a decent emergency fund as well as assets to cover him for at least a year with the goal being to have enough to be able to retire early if thats your choice.. At 55 the target is on your back in corporate America. Know it and plan accordingly.
I think the goal is to learn a skill so that you’re not easily replaceable and if something does happen you can easily pivot into a different company

He'll probably go collect SSDI. He must have seen my comments by now.
12 years? That’s a very very good stretch. We’ll be lucky to get 3-5 years out of a descent job nowadays. He thought he’d be an exception. The 401k or savings account should have put him in a position to start his own business after year 10.

Why when he can collect SSDI for depression. But first a doctor has to diagnos him for it. He'll need it in writing and then go to the SSA.
