I worked for a 3PL for HD, and they just went through major layoffs which trickled down through the 3PL’s. No severance. Just a letter talking about how it wasn’t a reflection of my hard work and dedication to the company. Now I’m in an already volatile job market competing with everyone else who just lost their jobs. I am recently divorced and just moved into a place with my 10yo son and 3yo golden two weeks before the layoff. I have $13 in my account, and I don’t know when unemployment will come through.
At first I thought it would be a good move because the company was so toxic, but now I am overwhelmed and scared with suicidal ideations. I would never kill myself, but the weight of financial stress is so heavy. I’ve had a few interviews, but nothing seems attainable. I’m tired of hearing that nobody wants to work because all I want to do is work. Our economy is not okay. Our society is not okay. I am not okay.
