No. I'm a middle aged White guy with an extensive tech background who is unemployed.
I've applied for over 150 jobs in the last four months and barely gotten a nibble. With a background like mine companies should be jumping to hire me. They were some years ago. But not now. Nobody wants the White guy.
I've got two kids. I'm honestly beginning to think they're better off if I get a big insurance policy and then disappear forever. Right now, that's a serious consideration. The fake pandemic, the politics, and now being unemployed is just too much. I'm doing my family a disservice by still being alive.
If you're as good as you say you are then you're not marketing yourself properly.
Companies say they want diversity hires but talent is talent and most have been burned from giving niggers and others benefit of the doubt.
Stop bitching and whining and improve yourself.
Dude, this is a time in life where your characters is being tested. If you bitch out and kill yourself because times are hard that is what your children will remember you for. They may not say it out loud but that is what they will think of you. They will say my father was a man who used us an excuse to check out when things got too hard for him.
On the other hand you can keep going and putting one foot in front of the other no matter how hard it gets. When your children are a little older you can tell them about how you got through a very difficult time by never giving up. You can explain to them how they were your motivation to keep going and find a way.
I guess it's up to you to decide what kind of man you are what lessons you want to leave your children.
I will tell you that for 9 whole years my life was pure hell and torture. I was convinced my destiny was misery and I saw absolutely no possible path for improvement. I destroyed every relationship I had and wallowed in a depression that's hard to describe in words. I didn't care about anything or anyone. BUT I kept moving forward and things gradually improved. Looking back I realized I was making progress the whole time by simply not giving up. Now for the past 10 years I have literally been perpetually happy. I never feel down and I love life.
What I'm trying to tell you is things will get better if you just keep moving forward. One day you will be a much stronger person because of all of this.
Don't be a pussy.
Thanks for this. It's tough, but I appreciate it.
Today is another day. I count them one at a time now. But today is another day.
You're making things out to be worse than they are in your mind. Start thinking about some of the good things in your life. You have a family, roof over your head, food in your belly and all kinds of luxuries. You don't know what hard times are my friend.
Hard times are living in a tent because you lost everything. You can feel sorry for yourself when you get there.
You need to change your thinking patterns, focus on the positive. It takes effort just like working out.
