Also true for your health and money. You do NOT hold your money on a bank account. Get a bitcoin wallet or hold your wealth in gold. Keep healthy dont sell your health for 150$ more a month. Eat healthy - do some sports.

A white Morpheus with hair? Eh. Works for me.

It seems to me that it's just a way to make a career now. I keep seeing stuff like "my second family" being said by marketing, hr, sales etc but I don't see it from techies. Its being promoted by the company and you go along with it for career reasons but since tech doesn't have to (we have lots of jobs), we just laugh at that crap.

I've never fallen for that bs.

No you aren’t wrong. That severance would have been a bill for all of those months they spent training you.

this is exactly why good government policies requiring companies to way would limit mass hiring and subsequent layoffs.

13:01 Has this individual expressed a negative opinion towards human and child-trafficking? It appears that criminal networks, and perhaps domestic and foreign intel agencies, are using companies to target some individuals. It has happened to me, through T-Mobile, my credit union, Metlife, and other companies, AS A CONSUMER. Of course, I was hired by the Russian-Dossier evidence-falsifying FBI in 2010, and thwarted an active shooter "drill" preparation happening in the Science building at the high school where I taught, on Christmas Eve 2014, at 11:30PM. The "drill" never happened, but Parkland and Laredo did, after that. Did I mention that I was hired to teach English overseas. I raised the test scores after 5 weeks. I was promoted, then fired, on the same day, and rushed off to the airport for the flight home 5 days later...where my boarding passes went missing at the X-ray check point. The special Lufthansa Christmas Eve crew in Saudi Arabia offered to print me "two more" paper boarding passes, without locating mine. I was trained at TSA, before they forced me out of there, and I graduated from the TSA Academy, so I know something about frontline airport security. I didn't board the plane, and when I spoke to the airport, local, and military police there, I was subsequently detained for a month-and-a-half, without pay. I'm not sure what I interrupted, if anything, but if the plane were taken down, I'm pretty sure Iran would be blamed, since the profits-above-people, Forever Wars/Slaughter-for-Profit profiteers desperately want a war with Iran...www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ho2pqv/is_it_possible_wayfair_involved_in_human/?ref=share&ref_source=embed&

I am US citizen with MBA. Trust me, I’ve been taken months applying for a job, yet, the recruiters never ask “what degree you got” instead “how many years of experiences in the field you got?” I’m not trying to freak you out. But the best of luck to you in the future!

@@2Cool4Ryan so if you're a fresher, that experience would most likely be in terms of internships or do they consider freelancing as experience too?

@@2Cool4Ryan Permanent resident and all recruiters are asking me for specific skills and experience. 6 months now without a job...

That’s depraved

Was this Johnson & Johnson?

@@aruytpadyugf that’s what I thought of! lol. Then the boss will ride off after selling to the Germans

Tony Tonyz I wonder what the fallout will be for those who were retained. Will a lot of them leave?

thomas samson yeah unless they give a huge incentive to the retained employees (which I doubt they will) this might backfire on them.

The guys who hire me are the same ones plotting to get rid of me before I walk in the door. They just hire people so they have heads available to fire when they need to showcase their cost reduction skills.

Was it really a waste?

As an immigrant from the former USSR, I can say that this is a cultural thing in America. Back in Russia, if somebody is having a crappy day, they won't pretend that they are having a good day. People say it like it is. Here in the US, they like to sugar-coat everything. Each system has it's advantages and disadvantages, but in the US, you always have to read between the lines and not trust ANYTHING anybody says. In fact, there is a saying, "whoever screams the loudest that they are not the devil, is probably the devil" - remember this every time you hear the phrase "company family".

Why was it a waste? You got the experience and you simply move on

@@JechtNH ye I'd say it was a waste in effort in the sense that you worked waayy harder in the hopes of a promotion. Or if you had spent like 10 years of your life there learning very little. But ye I can see why 3 years could feel like a waste if he was wanting progression upwards, as oppose to simply learning more tech

Not only until you've experienced career tragedies that you'll realize how Josh's words are 100% truth.

@@beverlymontgomery9105 You're saying the truth too lol #personalexperience

The guy is woke

fire them, then rehire them all for cheaper.

Isnt that what blizzard activision did it?

@@MR3DDev Freelance isn't that much better of an alternative unless you have good negotiation skills and iron-clad agreements/ legal backing to support them. Companies steal IP all the time from freelancers....and some even commit lawfare to price people out of collecting on old IP from canceled projects because the cost to go to court is greater than the return.

Hope things are better for you now!

might have something to do with corona virus? since all there products are made in china and production could be affected

@@mbias87 I had not considered that to be a factor... Even then though the virus is temporary. I'm not convinced. Because once the virus is cured, they would have to rehire everyone else again.

Recruiters these days are a total joke. Recently I had one completely butcher my resume before submitting it to the employer. When I asked why most of the key details on my work experience were cut, she responded saying "the client needs only relevant information". When I told her my experience IS RELEVANT, she admitted she didn't really understand what it is I do exactly, and was only trying to make my resume match the job description in front of her. I am finding it an unbelievable waste of time working with recruiters...

There's MANY recruitment agencies who don't know what front office or back office means.... "programming" is what they say but don't even realize there's different languages.

Are you gonna try to apply to other places and leave?

Agreed @JoshuaFluke, keep creating in this niche content. 💯👍

Agree. Exposing work bs.How to navigate work bs.

I was called for interview, we had scheduled for a specific day. For some reason, they didn't contact me again. I wrote an email asking about the interview and the company NEVER replied. Little things that show so much!

This is a good point. I just want to point out that there is nothing wrong with s company investing in itself, in fact it's something companies should do more. However, if the company had NEVER been profitable, that's a red flag. Companies work through the system of supply and demand. Whatever demand in the market a company can cover, dictates their supply. They can only make money by selling units, they can only sell as many units as the market will buy. Consequentially, they only ever need to hire as many people as is exactly needed to produce that exact amount of units. And maybe a little extra in the hopes of future growth. If a company has yet to be tested by the market, the amount of employees they have is a number decided by the companies management and is very likely the wrong number, and most likely a very HOPEFUL number. It's the companies attempt at projecting higher profitability to it's investors. Which means, a LOT of those people working there are not going to have a job very soon.

Wealth inequality is one of the reasons Joker was so successful.. the upper class doesn’t give a shit about the people in the middle and lower

So you would rather be fired by a company building battery-powered go-carts?

Which probably explains why they had to fire everyone in the first place. The Coronavirus is messing up a lot of companies.

@@Lieutenantkaiya there's NEVER BEEN much money in dropshipping. Except in the early days.

I'm not from the US but that is how it works from my understanding - they can fire you any time AND you can walk any time.

Yeah that's some bs. They demand but don't provide

@@kennuimuffins2426 In most cases you can walk anytime, but it's super frowned upon. You'll likely have to leave on bad terms with your company, and future companies will see this as you not being a very reliable person, making it more difficult to find another job. So yes, you CAN. But there's an unwritten rule that says you SHOULDN'T

@@absent72 classic USA

@@absent72 Lol people who get laid off are perceived negatively at prospective companies too. "Ah I see so you didn't work as hard as the people that didn't get laid off," type of bs. Its a lose lose situation. Not to mention ageism and its effects on otherwise talented workers having difficulty landing another job.

This. Coronavirus is going to bring massive problems to many markets since so many Chinese manufacturers have been closed.

@@fireball6625 I look at this with rose tinted glasses; companies will realise all of their eggs are in one basket with China, something like Coronavirus or any future trade deals or embargo's could cripple their company if their supply is cut off. They might just start broadening their manufacturing options to outside of China because of this.

@@SpareSomeChange8080 They didn't do it the last time there was a Chinese pandemic, they probably aren't going to do it this time.

This family thing means: work more than what you are paid for hahaha

Never forget that companies only see numbers. That's it. If they think that they can save a few bucks by letting you go, they won't hesitate for a second. By the same token, if YOU decide to quit on your own terms, it will cost them money. This is why they do all of this #corporatecringe. Because they want you to leave ONLY on their terms. Always have a backup plan/money in your bank/investments/passive income/side hustles. Only you can guarantee your own income.

At least that's microsoft. I got clipped on New Years Eve by a company that most of the world has never heard of because my manager had personal beef lol

The problem originates from the education system. They don’t teach people to be self-sufficient

@@jimmyrustles914 Thats true at my job they cant find any good repair technician. All the good ones they have are from China.

They're too busy covering their boxes in packing tape to make them waterproof.

This is an excellent analogy.

It's even more excellent if you follow it through. The CEO/captain is the one who ran the ship into the iceberg in the first place. But then, in an effort to save the sinking ship, they then have the genius idea to throw overboard/fire the very ones trying desperately to repair the damage and bail out the water the ship has taken on.

Damn...this is a perfect way of putting it! I've never thought of it like that.

This is THE best analogy for it.

They don't care if you get cut up by the propeller.....

There's no way to not take it personally. That's the reality of it. You fuck someone's livelihood over. That's personal no matter which way you look at it.

They have the option to say nothing too, or not have a LinkedIn in the first place

@@JoshuaFluke1 No it's really not. There's a reason we're always told to not take business personally. You're contradicting yourself. I agree that you should always be on the lookout for other jobs and always have a contingency plan. Businesses aren't all-knowing deities. They can't predict themselves going under and it's the employees responsibility to know that it's always a possibility. Networking is key. True you don't have to respond at all, but to bash them on social media is going to nothing but harm future opportunities.

@@trustthe_process4371 "Naive" people like me always have a job and a really good paying job at that. Blindly trusting some kid on youtube when he tells you to bash companies on social media that lay you off is naive. But you know what, go for it, and have fun being ghosted by literally every company you apply for in the future.

@@JoshuaFluke1 Also, you've been EXTREMELY fortunate in life. Yes, you've had your fair share of struggles, like everyone, but you were fortunate enough to get a college education. You've been fortunate enough to get six-figure jobs, and you've been fortunate enough to be able to make a living on youtube. This "fuck corporate" mindset is childish. I don't mean to bash you, you seem like a really nice guy and you're obviously very passionate about these people who lost their jobs, which was terrible, but you shouldn't fill these kids' heads with that mentality. Most people don't have what you have, and if you don't have a higher education or experience, you DO have to kiss a little ass to get ahead in the world. Unfortunately.
