Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

Hold your head up

I'm old and retired from CMCSA but was laid off from another large telecom company before joining CMCSA.

Hopefully the following will be helpful if you are laid off;

  1. It's NOT your fault,
  2. You WILL find another job,
  3. The culture at that new job may be very different (like CMCSA was for me),
  4. Take this as a lesson to save as MUCH as you can on the new job as there
    is NOTHING like being able to walk away on your own terms.

Corporate America can su-k but take advantage of them.

@aa old and retired here again.
Bite me dude but thank you for the veiled "all due respect" comment.

Try these;
The Early 1980s Recession (1981–1982). Peaked with national unemployment soaring past 10%
The Great Recession (2007–2009): Triggered a severe financial collapse that wiped out millions of jobs, caused an 8% drop in household income, and made long-term unemployment skyrocket

@ag Yes, it is a good time to be retired and I'm rooting for all of you.

@aa grow the fu-k up. the rest of us are going through the same thing without being an asshoke to someone trying to give advice. there will always be a sh---y economy. su-k it up and find a new job.

@aa because the alternative is to what? Roll over and die? Whine about it? Most losing their jobs here are losing them through no fault of their own. Some positivity in times like these can be a lifeline to people.

@OP Thanks for the positive thoughts, OG. It’s a good time to be retired and out of this rat race. I’d like to retire one day, but in the short term, my gut tells me Comcast is going to give me the experience of what it feels like to not be working.

All due respect, but if you’re “old and retired,” then you have NO idea what it’s like to be laid off in THIS economy. Please take a seat Boomer. How is this Stuart Smalley bllsht getting upvoted?

Amen, corporate O.G. I hope the people in the back hear this. You’re not defined by being employed by this company. You are more than your being a Comcaster. We will all be alright.
