- I lost my design job. Let's talk about it. Leaving the toxic stuff out but I'll be as transparent as I can lol. How it happened, how I'm feeling, and what's next for me.
Thanks for watching ✨
I got laid off out of nowhere and im 99.9% sure it was because my manager had a personal problem with me. Besides having to deal with their anger issues which was bad enough, they ruined my reputation :(
I am so sorry you went through that. That sounds like a really traumatic experience. I hope you take the time you need to recover. Lmk if you need someone to talk to. 😞❤
@joseveras7700 yeah we didn't have HR
@@Ljoellexo Honestly, I wouldn't go to HR anyways. HR works for the company and will side with the person in power who doesn’t like you. Just document and record everything on your own and talk to an employment lawyer.
I had the exact same thing happen to me 2 month ago. Was there 7 years and the person ran my reputation into the ground. No clue whats next and it sucks big time
who's anger issues?
When I first got laid off 4 years ago.....during the first 2 weeks, I felt the world had collapsed beneath me.....but looking back, it was the best thing that happened to me because it gave me the opportunity to look for a better job working a 9-5 job at the comforts of my home, compared to a more stressful night shift schedule with a long commute in my old job.
a layoff is almost a good thing if youre early to mid career, it forces you out of your comfort zone to go get a better job! i've seen the opposite too where someone just stays in their job for decades as other people run on by. Not good. we only have so long to be out there working!
Yes, I agree ! Complacency is so real
if I can give any advice to a young person, and I doubt it will be welcomed because it isnt for some young hip tech start up....my advice is to try very hard to get a county/state/federal job...that is a job that has a pension system and a strong union. yes, it doesnt have the pizazz of some cool start up and they dont throw money at you, but generally the IT departments are secure jobs. 5, 10 years fly right by. you will have a forever pension waiting for you.
I'm 66, still pushing my boulder, so it is what it is. Died on the hill of at will employment several times in my day.
Spot on right 💯.
Government job with union representation the only way to go. I'd say the same to any young person.
I worked for the government for 5 years. It's the most soul crushing work for anyone with ambition or drive. It might be OK for an older person who wants to cruise into retirement
@@SafeEffective-ls2pl I worked 37 years at mine and I worked my way up thru the years. its generally what you make it. soul crushing ...try working on a oil rig. a County/State/County job is hardly soul crushing.
@@SafeEffective-ls2plyou had to move around to find the right place. Different areas offer different vibes.
I still find it so bizzare that over the pond you don't have mandatory pension contributions made into the salary. Or that you even put up with something like "at-will employment". No matter where I work in EU I have to pay into national insurance or pension & disability and such. Retirement guaranteed! Work in Denmark, retire on a Greek island. End up on a wheelchair? Disability payments for life, no need to beg on GoFundMe...
You’ve got a lot of good wisdom and can bounce back from negative events. Hope things have leveled out for you now.
Thank you! 💕
Keep your head up. A lot of companies are bleeding layoffs signal to consumers and investors that business is bad. They try to get people on a turnover process so it's "ohh they just are having a hard time finding people who are the right fit." You will go through many of these over your working life you will keep moving forward and it will be better the next round.
As someone who has survived multiple rounds of layoffs at a startup and now waiting for the company to be acquired, I have anxiety for all of you guys. Keep your heads up, the job market will never perfect but new opportunities always arise so there's always something out there you can try out.
by the way, it seems like you manifested it to yourself, you liked your job so much, that you constantly been scared for loosing it, and, slowly but surely it died down. research this stuff, or else it will be happening to you constantly
Hi Robyn - Don't lose hope, I am confident that you will find another job before you know it. You are very articulate and give out a very warm and professional vibe! Being in Canada also, let me know if I can assist you in the job hunting.
Thank you so much that means a lot ! ❤
You are very welcome. What is the best way to direct any career opportunities your way? Can't make any promises but I interect with many people looking for great and dedicated employees.
I will also comment that you gave solid advices to people here
That's very kind of you, thank you! I can be reached at robynfiorda@gmail.com@@MarC-ot5gl
You are very wise, thank you for sharing your experience!!
Thanks for watching ! ❤
Hi Robyn.
Just discovered your channel (I kinda vagabonded to it through other videos of other people having recently been laid off), and yeah ! 2024 seems to be a brutal year !
I've been working in the animation industry for over 15 years, so layoffs and unemployement, sometimes for months, if not years in a row are nothing new to me.
But with all the Writers and Actors strikes from last year that essentially paralyzed the entire industry for half a year, and now the advent of AI which is prompting big studios like Dreamworks, Disney and Pixar to layoff up to 90% of their workforce in California (to relocalize it to Vancouver, cheaper and non-unionized), this year seems to be particularly gory for animation, VFX, and gaming industries.
And now, we're seeing tech is also bearing the brunt of it.
I'm sorry for you, but at the same time, good for you to be on the right mentality of taking it as the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.
Good thing for you that you've been saving and investing a lot these past few years (lol for your half-chinese plot twist reveal ^^. Just don't go and gamble it too much in the stocks. The market can also be a gruesome and thankless landscape to navigate. I'm 100% Taiwanese, and ethnically speaking, 96% of Taiwanese are basically long term Chinese expats in Taiwan, so I know full well the Chinese traits from the inside out ^^).
And sure, your bf might not understand yet because he just went through a massive win and haven't tasted a traumatic experience like getting laid off before, but definitely treat yourself. It is the end of a chapter of your life, so you might as well bring appropriate closure to it and lick your wounds, recover from the trauma (because yes, the first time is pretty traumatic), take some good well deserved rest and good care of yourself, before attacking the next chapter.
And who knows, maybe he might even appreciate the fact you have now some actual time to spend some more quality time with him ^^ ? (Now, don't let him get too used to it, though ^^)
"I love money". Lord heaven
You probably made someone jealous. At many workplaces I've seen any young attractive woman automatically becomes a target for other insecure women to tear down. Happens all the time. In nursing they call it "eating their young."
80+% chances that's what happened, sadly. She does look gorgeous, and in tech industries, I've heard that usually brings more issues than privileges.
Should go into modeling
I am a tech guy, though not professionally. I'm fairly well versed in a few things. But the state of the tech industry now, especially with AI in the forefront, makes getting a job quite difficult. I have never had a tech job, but I have been fortunate to exercise my programming skills in a recently previous job and it helped my people out tremendously.
I don't know what I want to do now, but I'm fairly sure it's not going to be in tech.
Saw thumbnail, thought “don’t worry, you’ll get a job soon”
Went back to sipping lemonade
I love your content. i have subscribed.
I got fired from a job for fighting a colleague, that was one of the best things to happen, it forced me to find a better job, which I did, and progress further in career. Sometimes bad things lead to good things.
Actually I totally relate to this video. I was laid off back in April, and I also celebrated my departure. I made sure I got a severance and UI. I'm also like you and I'm half Chinese so I'm ALWAYS thinking about money. :/
That’s so funny! Yes it’s our culture aha better things are coming for us ❤
Great video. Best of luck in your job search.
Thank you ! ❤
9:50 It's in my blood to love money because I'm half Chinese. Truer words were never spoken :)
How could they lay on such a beautiful angel
Greetings from the Washington, D.C. area. Perseverance is the key. The unknown is more stressful than the known. Never give up. Another road is open.
Love that ! Thank you so much ❤
welcome to life
When you mentioned the NVidia rollercoaster, reminds me when I purchased $5K @ $20/share in 2003 only to watch it get manipulated down to $10/share and held there while ATI skyrocketed for no reason... this went on for almost 2 years before the hedge funds allowed it to come back.
Have you thought about OF?
you will learn in life no matter your work ethic if someone in a higher position has personal issues with you ...for whatever reason.....they will get rid of you. The worse thing is HR will accommodate them. Just forget about the experience and move on.
Hope you find a better job!
Thanks so much ! ❤️
Getting laid off is horrible. It hurts so much. U are lost and in pain for the few weeks... sometimes months. Unfortunately, it happens, and it happens a lot. Best of luck.
There is a high chance of me getting laid off from my programming job in the next two months. The company is losing a lot of money and we were warned beforehand, so at least it is nothing personal.
I run no risk of being jobless because I’m in a line of work young people wouldn’t touch and even if they did they wouldn’t be able to do it. I’m 50 and that aspect has its benefits. I definitely can’t brag about my job but I’m very happy with the money. I realized a long time ago that the cushy dream job will only go to the few and the rest of us have to find something reliable for years to come.
I've been self employed for decades and the way you describe the modern day life of a worker bee makes my stomach turn. The job sounds like kindergarten. No wonder everything is in freefall collapse.
It's much worse
The key is creating a taxable account investment account because you may have to completely pivot to VERY different skills and it may take years to recover and find a real job (short of moving across the country). Make sure you have plenty of money that's generating passive income so you can be out of work for around 5 years. Unless you want to keep uprooting your life every business cycle you should do this.
When a company says they're a startup, walk away.
Startups can be risky, but they are wonderful for your long-term resume. Makes you a well-rounded employee, Having that experience under your belt.
I disagree strongly.
@@susanoakeshauf With my post or the one above mine?
Working on UI/UX is scary, you are always on borrowed time. Once the software you are working on is 80% feature complete, they don't need you anymore, and their focus shift to making sales.
Same thing happened to me, a private investment firm bought our company and laid off 30 percent of the company. Now I'm having a hard time finding another assignment.
Sorry to hear hope you find something soon! ❤
I knew I was getting laid off as well when my manager arranged to have a meeting with me. Because this manager basically never has random meetings with me. And the company had been letting people go for a while now.
Yeah the job market sucks right now. Good video.
who cares, grow up and stop playing the victim card. You got this
Oh robin lost her job and nobody cared
I feel you im on the brink of being fired I hope you find a better job in the future.
Sorry to hear you’re going through that ❤️ Hope you also find a better job soon !
It is really smart that you started investing early buy other young girls are not as smart as you and have nothing in their bank account or in investments and live paycheck to paycheck.
yep, whenever 'private-equity' is involved OR if you're a publicly traded company that is being aquired/merged and they give you the ol 'it's great for the company' THAT means it's good for the 'shareholders' ala likely cost-cutting ala likely reducing head count
Lol sucks but 'tis capitalism. Always be investing a portion of your income so you can become a shareholder too ;)
basically they want you to be fired up like you are receiving a bonus at the end of the year like them(the management and/or CEO).
Being laid off is a part of life regardless of our age.
If you really need the money - you´ll find a job - even if its a job in the health care service - it will not kill you - but its real hard work - most people are scared about real hard work.
You can get a job in 20 minutes at the local Harley Davidson shop as a Motorclothes specialist
sending love and good vibes your way ❤
Thank you so much! ❤
🎉 Celebration to new beginnings like that mindset. Smart you cashed in on the Nvidia stock.🎉🎉
Thank you so much 💕
Follow up is definitely needed!!.. did you get that new job?
I didn't but still a good experience - the founder I interviewed with was super nice. Still on the hunt though 🤪
@@robynchloe thank you for the response. I'm glad you had a good experience. happy hunting! 🥳
what a beauitful youtuber you should have a 1,000,000 by the end of the year but anyway cool video cool channel i hope thing get better for you
Move back home with your parents. Do remote programming from home.
Me too. Thank God.
😂
I'm praying for you
Wow, you're half-Chinese? I honestly did not see that whatsoever... but now I can't unsee it haha
Haha yeah I’m weird like that 🤪
@@robynchloe is it your mom or dad that’s chinese?
My mom !
@@robynchloephew… good thing u didn’t inherit ur dad’s last name, or that u look white, otherwise you’d be out in the minority bucket.
@@robynchloe Nothing weird about it. Half-Chinese mixed people are among the biggest mixed population in the world.
Would love to see some videos about finance and investing.
I tell you the truth Richard Fain is good. He has been in the business (Banking & Investin)30 Years. You can find him on RUclips, It is free and he is on every morning at 10:30 am Eastern time. God Bless You All.
Time to get a better job
God bless you ❤️👍🙏
May I talk to you about art stuff? I'm interested in the side hustle you were talking about. I would email you but your youtube doesn't show one.
Enjoyed your video! Tech is harsh right now and the economy as a whole. Wish I invested and worked as hard as you at 25! lol the half Asian comment $ (my friends are Asian and I admire their work ethic but also their dads usually gamble a lot it’s fun)
What’s your ethnicity as a whole though? I hate that I always get curious but I love guessing since I spent so much time growing up with my viet/chinese friends.
Anyways best of luck you got this and yes keep saving, investing! Plus social media is such a valuable skillset, your video was enjoyable to watch and I know you’ll be ok!
Chinese & Italian ! Thank you & thanks for watching ! ☺️
@@robynchloe Alright ! Straight from the DNA of 2 of the most beautiful populations in the world. No wonder you look so stunning !
My god your gorgeous holy smoly it should be illegal to look that good sweet Moses Malone
Lmao well thanks 😂
You look like AI as it is. Do not start using any filler.@@robynchloe
LOL
Agree she could be a super model
A what designer?
Sorry, life does suck these days just like they did in my day.
Something to do with management thinking labor cost are a burden to the profit margin instead of THE most valuable asset a company has.
Anybody can push paper. Now pick up that case of paper and take it to the upstairs office . . . not the jerk in tie crowd.
A UI/UX designer is not management. These folks design the look and feel of websites and apps. Unfortunately, these roles have been the target of tech layoffs lately.
@@susanoakeshauf I was referring to managements thoughts about us aborers, we are a burden to the profit margin and cut too deep into bone us and dividend money.
Not just tech, they tossed 30 into the fire here yesterday. . . a packaging plant.
very sorry to hear you lost your job - that can be so stressful. the good news is you can join the military and be back in full time with government benefits quickly! see your nearest army, navy, air force or marine recruiter. good luck on your new adventure!😃
What terrible advice… the military isn’t for most people. You can just throw that around willy nilly.
Sweetpea needs a husband. And Chinese drink their tea with the leaves floating around in it.
My co worker they got rid of . One day he told the supervisor to hurry up. Ahahahaha
Did you get a good severance?.
You look 17, surprised you're in your 20s.
You'll find another job I'm sure. Likely a better one.
I am asian so its in my blood to love money. Lol couldnt be more true.
You sound very financial savvy, good for you. :)
Thank you ! ❤
Time to start your own?
Youre very naive. Learn well from this lesson. Work for the government or become self employed. Private institutions owe you nothing. Its reality sadly.
do you live in USA ?
@@ok-pp8fp Canada !
@@robynchloe immigrated or born there ?
Jesus loves you, god bless ❤️👍🙏
Buy Bitcoin
Lol I actually have a little but mostly do stocks/ETFs
@@robynchloe that’s cool… I saw by the end that you invested well in nvidia etc. good stuff, very wise move 😎
Haha thank u thank u 😜
time to short bitcoin
HR ambush
now you are going to the shelter 😂
You love money
Don't you? lol
