Hiya! How have you been doing? If you've seen these, you know whats up. If you're new, these threads are for you to tell us about something cool going on in your life, or vent about anything you might want to!
For me, not a ton going on. Things are going well with the new partner, and we spent the holiday together. Chilling back at home the rest of this week, and am getting back to writing music! Still no luck with jobs, starting to apply to some lower level things just to get back to work of some sort. Shit's rough out there, been about 5 months now, and I know that ain't shit compared to what others have been going through employment wise. Watching more anime lately, so that's been fun, working through Space Dandy now.
The corgi sends her solidarity and snuggles!
Hope you've all been well! Remember, you are loved 
The company I got a job with announced theyre being bought out by another company halfway through my first week. The boss assured us they want our tech and that my teams jobs were all but secured.
Had to reinterview for a whole new job twice and was just notified they are not going to hire me to the new company. Turns out they just wanted our real estate and the old white European billionaire that owns the conglomerate that used to own my company sent a video saying how sorry he is that the real estate market forced them to sell off the company. Also the new company put out a video saying "were looking forward to integrating your company team with ours" however 98% of the company got fired and 2% got 3-6 month contracting roles.
I'm convinced the CTO that hired me knew this was coming and just wanted to inflate the company value. Real big kick in my impostor syndrome. Worst part is I can't get unemployment because I haven't been there for four months yet.
Dont ever believe what c-levels say. If theyre moving their lips they are lying. Double strike if they use words like 'synergizing'.
If therapy taught me anything, it's that you shouldn't take shit like this personally. If professional experience taught me anything, it's that the c-suite doesn't know up from down. You might expect them to have a solemn duty to profit above all else, but even that doesn't encompass the dumbass calls that they make.
