Had a job for close to 29+ years. Then bad investments, managers who have no clue about the business (releasing people), and a bad economy. The job I did was a hybrid of different jobs. Now I struggle to fit in one or another job field. Plus everybody is paying low to start out because of the economy. #jobsearch #ageism #careerchange #technology #laidoff #customerservice #sales #interviews

After working at the company for many years I was laid off. Although I have experience it is hard to find a job. A phone interview is ok but not in person. Employers do not believe that humans can learn after 50. Because I am a human I do not know EVERYTHING but if you could give me a chance I will learn and I will do well. After applying to so many positions and 2.5 years in I give up. If the economy does not want me so be it. If you see me in the park or sleeping under the bridge just know I am not an addict. I am a hardworking person but I am too old to be hired and too old to for your 20-30 culture. I would look for something else but frankly, the tech is all I know. Thank you for your thoughts. #ageism #laidoff #python #careerchange #training #technology #certification #jobsearch #womanintech
It was a job that I’ve been doing for 45 years #laidoff
Trinity Health is a great place to work. Unfortunately, I was laid-off due to the covid pandemic but I would go back in a heartbeat. #laidoff #coronavirus #healthcare #health
So I had worked at a job for about two years then I decided I wanted a new job (change is good every now and then). I went to a temp agency and they told me that it could be a long time due to do the corona virus. Since it was going to take forever I never told any of my bosses about possibly leaving. Then after awhile the temp agency told me to take a drug test (still not telling me to put in my two weeks) then the temp agency said that I would start basically three days after that, if the drug test came back good. I asked the temp agency lady if I had time to put in my two weeks and she said to put in a notice but by that time it surely wasn’t too much of a two week notice so I basically had to quit my job of two years. I didn’t want to mess up my chances with another job that would pay me way more money an hour in comparison. So I started working at this other place and got laid off after about two months of being there. Then I filed for unemployment and the job that I previously worked at protested my claim and now I am waiting to do a fact-finding interview. I am pretty sure that they protested my claim because I never put in my two weeks. I just need to know if anyone thinks I have a good chance to win this case.

If anyone see this who can direct me in the right place thank you everyone! #laidoff
I believe you have a pretty good chance. A temp agency tried to screw over my unemployment about 30 years ago. I was briefly unemployed and had worked for them for 8 hours (to the tune of about $40) one Saturday when I was still at Uni. I was already working three part-time jobs at the time and Saturday was my only day off. About a week or so after I filed for unemployment, a woman from the temp agency phoned. We had a 'friendly chat' about what my "ideal position" would be. I described something along the lines of what I had been doing...as I'd graduated Uni... something full-time in the financial sector. That was it. I received notification a few days later of this lousy temp agency challenging my UI claim on the grounds that I had "refused work"! It still kinda makes me angry, now that I think about it. They never offered me work or even spoke about anything they might have available. After UI did their fact finding mission, my unemployment was granted... though I didn't recoup the losses I incurred during their investigation. Afterwards, the woman at EDD told me that it was "typical" for past employers to challenge UI claims. SMH... it's BS and I still recall the anxiety I felt... even a sense of betrayal...at the temp agency's claim. You'll get through it, though. It will no doubt work out in your favour. Peace.
