In my 42 oilfield years, half of them were years of one or more layoffs. If it were a contest that business has all of them beat. Somehow I survived to retire. Half of it was because I didn’t lay myself off from my own company. We managed to fight our way through all the downturns somehow. We never turned down honest work and we appreciated all we got.
I just keep my head down and keep moving.
Seriously, though - one would have to be a mental case to outwork me, these young kids out of college - they don't stand a chance! ; )
Eventually working hard is not enough. After the fat is cut then comes muscle and bone. Bone comes down to favorites and flipping a coin. I told the kids to try to find a place where you are not just valued but liked if you can.
It’s a small price to pay for no more mean tweets from the orange bad man...
Rising unemployment is a lagging indicator. If true then we are in a recession now.
I love hearing of a great outcome, congrats! We retired in our mid-50's and wonder how we found time to do anything while working, and still can't find enough time after retirement to do everything. Picked up a guitar but I suck at it. Just got a capo and hope it helps.
Set in motion the day dumbbell Biden was sworn in.
Pipeline cancelled which started the energy price upward spiral .
If we instead had lots of plentiful oil and gas, much of the inflation would not have happened.
They can only prop up, for so long.
