Just got laid off today....

[Joe2187]

After five years of one of the best jobs Ive ever had, I got laid off because we cant function in this climate, we've been bleeding money since march and they've done all they could for us to keep afloat.

It was alot of us. We could see the writing on the walls, but it still hurts.

I've still got a lot of pictures of how work used to be like everyday.

Im super devastated. I loved every moment of my job. Now I dont know what to do or where to go.

 

[Pendas]

I'm sorry OP. Hopefully you can bounce back, because those images look amazing. You truly are a master of your craft.

 

[PositivePolitique]

That's so upsetting. This pandemic is ruining so many lives both directly and indirectly. I hope you find something fulfilling that can fill that gap in your life for now and that you have access to some sort of govenrment assistance.

 

[SquirrelSaysNuts]

I'm sorry. Hang in there. Things will turn around eventually. And this food looks absolutely delicious.
I have no regrets even though I clicked for the "I just got laid..." title. :(

 

[Magneto]

I wish you the best OP.

 

[Deleted member 14377]

You are incredibly talented, don't let getting laid off let your self-esteem/confidence take any semblance of a hit. Sadly, this is out of your control.

Folks like you don't stay unemployed for long. Maybe keep at it at home if possible? start an Instagram if you haven't yet?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I feel you dude. I'm at somewhat of a crossroads myself.

Those pics are beautiful.

 

[El_TigroX]

I'm sorry to hear that OP. I think it's brave of you to post your feelings, and acknowledge the hurt. I've gone on that rodeo a few times - it hurts absolutely every time - especially if you really care about the people and the work.

Know that you are not your job, and even if that has gone away... you still have talents and there will be opportunity before you.

Take some time to mourn, take a few days off and then start the processes you have to go through.

 

[Machine Law]

Your pics are amazing OP. You will get back on your feet in no time I'm sure.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Sorry to hear that.. those are amazing pictures.

 

[RBH]

Sorry to hear that, hope you land on your feet soon

 

[Sleepyhead86]

Sorry to hear, it looked like some quality craftsmanship.

Apply for unemployment if you can, it really helped out my brother in law, and helped him while he found something new.

Hopefully the future is brighter and you'll find a way to do what you love again soon.

 

[Tiny Hawk]

I can really see the care and love you put into your work from those pictures. They look wonderful.

All the best for your future endeavors, dude.

 

[Josh5890]

Add those pictures to your resume. You have a talent and I hope you are able to succeed soon.

 

[Kyra]

I hope you get back on your feet OP. Those spreads look amazing.

 

[Gatti-man]

Wow I'm so sorry. You seem not only to love your job but also insanely skilled.fuck Covid.

 

[ISWThunder]

That stinks. I also got laid off from an awesome job, but am back on my feet now. And while I miss those friends and experiences, I'm focused on the future. Better times ahead!

 

[AliceAmber]

These look absolutely amazing. I hope you are able to bounce back soon.

 

[CrankyJay]

Sorry OP, that looks amazing.

 

[mbpm]

Damn, that's rough man. I knew how much you loved your cooking. Best of luck in the near future

Also those food photos are always dope

 

[Ballou]

I'm sorry OP. I got laid off last year so I know how tough that can be, especially when it's a job you really liked. Those pictures make clear that you're very talented, so I have faith you'll find something soon.

 

[labx]

OP, I'm a fellow cook as well. I had to close my business in march and work in my other field of study. Hang in there.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I hope you manage to get back on your feet.

You are clearly look passionate and skilled at your work.

 

[Siyou]

Your employment may end, but take the energy that you felt with this job and take it to your next. Your skills and merits are not vanished, and you'll do well where ever you go from here. You're a severely talented individual and although it may feel tough now, just know you're not laid off because of your talents. Do your best from here on out, and know you've got an array of skills and an energy that will not leave you even after this job has left you. <3

Welcome to the club.

 

[DaleCooper]

Sorry to hear this and welcome to the club.

 

[BarringGaffner]

Your work looks seriously impressive.

 

[HardRojo]

Damn, sorry to hear Joe, I think we played a few SFV matches back when I was still active on Discord. I hope you can recover from this.
And those are some really cool pictures.

 

[Random Painted Highway]

wow, those pics are amazing, sorry op :(

 

[captive]

sorry OP thats terrible.
your work looks amazing though. Be sure to add that to your resume as others have said, or have a portfolio website if you don't have one already.

That's so upsetting. This pandemic is ruining so many lives both directly and indirectly. I hope you find something fulfilling that can fill that gap in your life for now and that you have access to some sort of govenrment assistance.

gonna have to disagree, at this point its not the pandemic ruining peoples lives. We've had ample time to get it under control and we haven't even tried to.

 

[easter]

OP you are awesome! Can't wait until you hit us with the next chapter.

 

[criteriondog]

I hope you can find something soon, OP. Those pictures are incredible and you truly have a craft!

Hello there OP. Welcome.. there's a few extra seats in the back.

 

[JetMan07]

This exact same thing and situation happened to me two weeks ago. It sucks. I feel your pain op.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Damn, really sorry OP.

 

[DrFunk]

I'm sorry OP, I hope you land on your feet

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Sorry OP. It looks like you really took pride in your work. I hope you find something soon.

 

[CorpseLight]

All that food looks too amazing to eat. Seriously.

 

[Achtung]

Some serious talent on display in those photos.. I am so sorry this happened and I sure hope things bounce back sooner than expected! Keep your chin up.. talent is not the issue.

 

[Uhtred]

Looks like your industry in particular has been taking the brunt of it. I hope you can bounce back soon. I'll echo everyone else in saying you've got skills. I don't doubt once this thing passes that you will be in demand again.

 

[BossAttack]

That's a lot of good food. Sucks that you got fired, hopefully you can bounce back quick.

 

[Creation_Scapes]

Wow those shots are amazing! You got some serious talent and hopefully can find a new great job soon.

 

[entremet]

Sorry to hear OP. I've been laid off in previous seasons. Always sucks.

I hope you find something soon. Every consider being a private chef? I know someone that does that. You can always return to hotel work once this terrible virus is gone.

In the meantime, cut all unnecessary monthly costs and apply for unemployment ASAP.

 

[Ouroboros]

I know its hard, but keep a positive outlook. You WILL bounce back from this. You are very talented!

 

[mreddie]

You will bounce back, that work is amazing. Just kick more ass as you can. It just sucks this hellscape fell into everyone's laps.

 

[Gunny T Highway]

Sorry to hear that OP. Hopefully you can find something because based on those pictures you are really good at your craft.

 

[Joe2187]

Thanks for all the support, Im just reminiscing at the moment of all the great times I've had.

 

[dosh]

I honestly wish you the best OP. These pictures are great (and everything looks incredibly tasty, damn).

 

[DeltaRed]

I'm sorry to hear this OP. All I can say is I've been made redundant out of nowhere twice and both times it turned out for the best in the end.

 

[PickledCucumber]

I'm sorry OP...

Those pictures look amazing and delicious.
