My job at the hospital is classified as 'non-revenue generating' and since the CDC has been relaxing COVID guidelines all year, they decided to lay off an entire position effective January 1st. They claim they'll help us find new positions in the hospital, but after applying at over two dozen positions in the last week and getting exactly 0 interviews, I'd bet my firstborn that they're lying.
I already loathe this time of year to the point where I have panic attacks from holiday-related stress at least once a week, and I'm being told I have to find a new job in a town where the only thing smaller than the average IQ is the number of open positions who will hire someone with a degree. It's enough to make me scream. I didn't even really like this job, but the minimum wage for the hospital as a whole is higher than anywhere in the county, so I could at least make rent. Now, I'm going to have to hope I qualify for unemployment.
