I’m up can’t sleep. This is not healthy. I need out ASAP! I’m financially worried. I’m a single mother with a small child. I have no strength to give this company anymore of my energy. I’m trying to stay positive. All I can do is pray. I’ve started applying for jobs and getting entertained by good companies. So I’m not so much worried but the thought of Covid and Jon transition during this time is kinda scary. If Covid wasn’t here, it wouldn’t be as bad. I’m afraid of Getting Covid and my child as well. Just venting. I don’t need to see any negative comments. My family and friends wouldn’t understand and I’m a very private person. This is the best outlet for me to express my feelings other than my journal.

I have never commented on any of these threads but have read them for months and identify/relate with your situation. As hard as it is, if you have not been eliminated stay at least until 2021 then get the hell out! Run! That’s what I am doing. I make a great living at Allsnake and have a child too, but I refuse to stay miserable beyond 2020. This company and every snake from your co-workers to your boss to the top don’t give a sh– about you.
To. The person saying won't get severance for 60 days not true you get it in the 60th day not to mention you can apply for unemployment right away not when severebxe is over like most think unemployment doesn't count severance or care that you get it. The day you turn in your badge the following day starts your waiting week.. so don't fret too much with severance plus unemployment your getting more than regular pay to job search.. be happy.
What was your role?
Same here have a son and was told won't get severance pay until 60 days after the release date. So that leaves me no income for 60 days. I will have to find a job asap temp company or something hopefully to work for the 60 no pay. Heartless and I have literally given half my life to this place.
This next 2 -3 years will be tough for everyone because of Covid! Every generation has dark times such as wars or pandemics. As a society we will get through this and things will go back to normal. I'm the meantime do what's best for you the next few years
I felt and had the same feelings you describe, I could not give this company another minute of my time. I became a zombie thinking about the insanity of this company in recent years. I took 10 days pto cleared my mind, called my csl 3 days before my return and resigned. I had prepared prior to this, saving, and mindful of expenses. Out of work for 2 months, just hired this week, less hours, less pay, less stress***, I feel energized again and ready to move on.
For your child's sake, you need to shed your pride and privacy and be more open. Many people are in the same boat as yourself. Just keep working hard and keep your fingers crossed. Don't be afraid to ask for help from people you know. You will be surprised at how helpful people can be and many are respectful of your privacy. Have faith and don't stress so much. Not good for your child. Be careful of remote work that sounds too good to be true. Take walks with your child. It's free and it's good for physical and mental health. Now is a good time to start saving $. Research cheaper places to live, local food banks and see what assistance is out there even before you even need it. Just be prepared for the worst. If you are a good writer, perhaps you can even publish a few articles online from your journal under a fake name and earn some extra $ on the side.
You aren’t alone, I’m up worrying too. Hang in there!! Apply for jobs and try to be proactive!
If you are applying for jobs, search out remote positions where you can stay home, it might not be the greatest job but at least you could control not having to go to an office. Stay strong.
