Boo Hoo. As near as I can figure I’ve been unemployed 10-15 days since I was 15. I’d take anything while looking for something better. It turned out to be a good way to learn things (like why working in fast food sucks). Looked for interesting jobs. My approach was “never take a job you’re qualified for, it will bore you” and it turned out to be true. My final workplace closed without warning when I was 62. At that point I didn’t have a financial need to work and the thought of searching in the early post covid era didn’t appeal, so I retired.
That is very true. I was fired from a job I loved after 10+ years. I had worked this same type of job a several different companies previously. I took another job that was different but had very good prospects for future advancement. Eventually I was contacted by a former co-worker at another company and was recommended for the exact type of job I had before. I thought I would love it, but as you pointed out, I was bored to tears! Nothing new, no challenges, same stuff every day for months. I lasted six months and went back to my other job full time, since I still worked for them on a part-time basis. I've been here ever since and that was nearly 30 years ago..................
