so i got fired. 

Everybody gets fired at least once in their life. It’s just not talked about.

I just got fired. They cited poor performance. I never figured my performance was the best, but never fire worthy. Never gotten written up or talked to. I’m 30. I have a wife. We have a baby on the way. I’m feeling crushed and pathetic and angry have no idea what to do.

just got fired today this made me feel better and its just was not meant for me .😄

Im watching this not because I got fired yet but to inspire myself that if I do get fired next week, im more emotionally prepared for it. I have been catastrophizing since last week, its really weighing me down.

I remember getting fired from my first real job straight out of grad school, due partly to restructuring and also due to me not being on the best terms with my manager (INTJ problems - what can I say?). My reaction at the time was a mix of relief and uncertainty but I was blessed to have my life and finances in order beforehand, and with the help of a career coach/mentor who I worked with in my old job I was able to get into a new role fairly quickly. Not everyone else is so fortunate. Sometimes job loss can be truly devastating and so it's good to see that you're able to pause and take a breath before going on to the next thing, career-wise. Wishing you the very best in your future pursuits and don't forget - we work to live, we don't live to work! Stay strong and keep going!

I worked as an IT Technician at a local college as my 2nd IT job after I got laid off from a call center job that I worked for nearly 3 years. I wasn't skilled enough for the job yet, but I wanted the job badly that I lied my way through the job, and usually, im a quick learner, too. I didn't think I was going to get the job, but I got it and was excited about it, thinking this was going to be a perfect job for me that I can do as a career. Fast forward 3 months later, the college job ended up being way tougher than I thought, and my "trainer" didn't really do his job to help me improve. Every time I ask for help or need some reminder from my trainer, he would make these annoying "what-do-you-think" remarks and doesn't help me. Plus, working 10-hour shifts a day was what stressed me out the most about the job. On my last day of working there, I got to my boss's office after my first hour of the day and he told me I wasn't "progressing enough" for the job and I must be released. As my boss made me pack my stuff and escorted me to my car; he told me I was his worst incompetent employee, too many complaints about me not knowing what I'm doing, and this job and the IT career are not for me. All honesty, I was actually more glad that I didn't need to work there anymore than upset that I got fired. I wanted to like the job, but I couldn't and I wanted out there.

It's funny that sometimes my life is so related to Lydia's. I'm also unemployed since last Friday lol. But I decided to resign cause that job was making me be stuck. It's hard to deal with unemployment, but sometimes it's a way of make us to grow and start something new

I just got let go today from my job I wasn’t much upset as I was disappointed I was making good money as well as getting benefits but at the same time I felt like I was losing a piece of myself in it I was doing my best but I guess it wasn’t good enough and as much as I wanted to cry I didn’t I’m 26 almost 27 years old I don’t have a proper job anymore but I’m not letting this stop me because right now I want take care of myself because I’ve neglected it for too long and remind myself that nobody is perfect and chase after my dream and grasp it

I got fired today and the owner didn't have the balls to do it herself

Im a nurse i was fired last Thursday morning and i start my new job orientation wensday morning, 😂 i was fired for standing up for myself and i dont regret it at all i did whats right.

That last part really hit hard.. You're completely right.. We are focusing too much on career and achievement, we are focusing too much on the future without remembering that we live in the present, and that the present time is never gonna be here again. Why do we have to wait for a "cancer" for example to make us wake up and take action to liberae ourselves?! WE CARE TOO MUCH, about superficial things sometimes🤓 This video woke me up, thank you...❤ And also I'm happy that you're happy and free, make the most out of this time

As a person who has had a history of being fired myself 😂i can tell you its definitely their loss, and maybe its for the best you will find something better most likely or maybe you can start something yourself companies are notorious for firing intelligent people and letting the slackers stay behind, not necessarily tgat your coworkers are slackers but that has happened to me, after i left my job they hired slackers for cheaper wages and the company took a dive, interesting video as usual.✌🏻💚

i lost my job in January. I am still upset over it. Even I am pushing retirement age, i feel they had it for me. I think they could of done a better job and I think I could have done something better.

Thank you for helping me process the difficult emotions I am going through

Just lost my job yesterday. I went through all the emotions too and settled on what am I going to so now. I'm one of the ones that is going to be in deep dodo even if my unemployment kicks in. I knee it was coming, I worked in credit cards...those I was fired because my stats tanked after I got a "soft" lateral promotion into training. They decided to stop hiring and threw me back on the phones.i did the bare minimum to get by and it nailed me. I hated it so it's fine that they fired me...I dont have to deal with them anymore. I'm just stressed out about my financial situation. Good luck on the future.

I, too, just got let go yesterday. Thank you for this video because I felt so alone.

Mac n cheese. Best comfort food. I will say this, as someone who was recently homeless. You quickly find your possessions, fancy apartment, designer clothes, don't mean shit. Simplify your life.

I am about to lose my job. I’m freaking out. Please someone pray for my future. I don’t have much money in the bank. What upsets me the most is the way my employer went about it. I feel heartbroken

I'm worried that I will pass all of my life working and that I won't spend enough time living

Hey guys, I got sacked earlier too. Just out of the blue and feel really scared but relieved at the same time

I enjoyed the video. I was let go from my job this morning. I think I will also do a video this week. Also, I like your sense of humor.

most intj statement.. "you could get cancer"

Hello Lydia, I'm 30 years old and I also had lost my job recently. I just watched your other video about being "so mature for your age" and honestly that's how it felt watching this video. Your 'maturity' really inspires me, which is a bit embarrassing not gonna lie lol. I spent a month of panic and agony and only now I'm coming to the realisation that I should enjoy this free time, that years from now I'd be looking back and wish to get this time off (albeit it was forced on me). I'm finally at a better mental space this week and I'm actually calculating my next move calmly and not in panic. Your video was a good reminder that it's not really that deep to be in this situation, it's just how the market is going. It's easy to blame one's self (and that's what I did initially) because I thought why me? I did everything I thought was right to be able to afford a decent life, so why me? why now? Now I realise it's not my fault. Instead of beating myself up I should work with what I'm given. You booking a flight the moment you were fired really inspired me lol. I mean, yea god is giving us this free time, might as well enjoy it while it lasts. Wish you all the best luck!

Thanks for this. It was helpful to hear that others have this experience.

Just got fired from a roofing sales job making GREAT money😢😢so I feel you

sorry that it happened to you. Been there done that... Yes, I went through a range of emotions. First, I know this is something I can't really argue about - I mean they made it something like a discussion setting - you know it's over and you are in the abyss in relation to the current job. It feels very personal and there is nothing they can say that will make you feel better.

Sorry to hear Lydia, but it’s amazing the way you are dealing with it and I love the fact that you decided to openly talk about this, sharing your vulnerability and strength with us. You are so right that we often feel ashamed when things like this happen to us and you are such a great example of how we should deal with them. Make the most of your freedom and of the opportunity to reinvent your life for now! Thanks for sharing ❤

You’re describing my feelings right now, thank you so much for this video!!!

it took me 1 week before i got affected by this. and that gut feeling you said that something is gonna happen and they call you in hr. yeah its true. but the most embarrassing thing is they walk you to your car.

Thank you! I was fired 4 weeks ago, other than the plane ticket, our day, feelings, how it happened mirrored each other. You helped me feel better. It's a ride to be sure but I'm forging ahead! Be well

I had a prestigious internship at a big CPA firm. I was not given an offer at the end of it. Hurt bad. Got another job through my network at a similar prestigious firm and never looked back. 10 years later I am a Partner living a way better life. Things happen and you learn and move on

I’m glad I discovered this because I literally got fired wrongfully so for being pregnant which is insane.

I needed this so badly

thanks for this video. i recently got laid off and this video helped me threw the emotions.

I got fired 2 days ago from a place I thought was my thing… I was there for over a year… and I was fired over a 1 time mistake

Thank you! The same thing happened to me yesterday and I found this video massively comforting. I have been a range of emotions from silent, to sobbing, to screaming, to feeling free, to not sleeping and going to the gym. I think I'm starting to calm down now and accept it. And if a beautiful and lovely girl like you can be fired, anyone can! God has better plans for us

I got let go from my job this video is very peaceful boosting my mentality that a better opportunity is coming thank you ❤

Thanks I needed this

I got inspiration from you, regarding how to cope with the feeling of getting fired

I got fired the day after I found out my wife of 16 years, was cheating on me. Life sucks right now but hey, I am healthy, I have a beautiful daughter, and I have the drive to bounce back!

I think it's quite natural to experience conflicting emotions about being fired. When I was let go by my first ever job, i was pissed because I didn't think what I did deserved being fired; plus I needed the money - and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. At the same time I was somewhat relieved because the environment wasn't the most ideal and it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life in general. Looking back almost ten years on, I don’t care anymore and I'm really grateful for the experience because it taught me a lot. You have already right to feel how you do about losing your job. I just wish you the best and I pray you find something much better soon. In fact, you will. In the meantime, take care of yourself and savour your newfound freedom for now.❤❤

I got laid off 4 years ago, I was 39. My husband got laid off 2 months ago, the job market seems tougher for him than it was for me. I think a lot of us young Gen X and millennials have or will experience a layoff. It’s even more challenging if you have kids. If you haven’t job searched in the last 5 years, things are different. There’s a lot of assessment tests and multiple rounds of interviewing and sadly ghosting from Employers and Recruiters. Be prepared, if you have experience then an opportunity will come your way but the job search will definitely have its ups and downs.

I'm also just got fired yesterday and ended up watching videos like this. Thankfully knowing this is not only me makes me feel better. I am happy to find another way now.

i just got fired yesturday too so i commend you on being strong though this! I just subscribed to you too.

I got fired last night when my net shift would have been today. They weren't able to give me an actual reason why I was being fired. I live in Vancouver and it's so expensive here and it's scary.

So I recently just got let go as well. The positive thing is that I had already kind of been feeling like it wasn’t going to work out for like a year now before hand. The good news is that that allowed me time to do all the work and mentally prepare myself for this day. I also had the same thought that she mentioned in the video “I’m free” when the incident finally happened. Afternoon additional research if that’s your first thought what it means is that most likely the role wasn’t for you or the company wasn’t for you. Now, is the time that you lean on your support network and move on .

Depending on the job, sometimes that's the best thing for you. You can reset your batteries, so to speak...think about what to do with your life and move on. Personally, it can be refreshing.

ngl I subbed because of how you started the vid off😂😂😂 “well it’s 5 hours no job” I’m in the same boat shit bogus man

I really like thelydshow & it's cool that not a lot of people know about your channel

2 of my co-workers who i worked with for so many years just got fired 2 days ago because of our company's recent "low" budget. both were very hard working people and had always put in all their effort in their respective roles. i wont be surprised if i'm next in line to be let go even if i consider my position very important in the company. they are also my good friends too outside of work so not having them as co-workers stings alot and its going to be a totally different working atmosphere in a bad way going forward.

I’ve been let go enough times that i always expect it. Four times so far. I’m in my last corporate job after which i’m going to be angling for a lay off, next Spring to be exact. My point here is that I’ve been laid off four times and am looking for a fifth, because i like the pay out, which has at times been quite generous. I’ve stayed at jobs knowing the job was going to be eliminated, or i was not one of management’s favorites, because i wanted the package. It’s a strategy worth considering.

I Hope things have improved for you and you have work now Just lost my job today Subscribed

Been at the same job for 20 years, they told me i needed to do better or I was gone. Everyone “above” me is acting off, my boss is actually being somewhat nice.. I am suppose to have a meeting with Hr in a few days.. I have a feeling I am a goner. Been making me sick …

I was let go during the last recession from a decent job pay wise but not a great environment. Was unemployed for a year, only had one job interview, eventually got hired at that job to make a long story short. I was pretty relaxed and relieved like you are when I was let go. It wasn’t personal on their part. I just accepted it. Thank goodness for unemployment paychecks. Now my pay is double what it was before in a way bigger company with a way better atmosphere. Not to say the same thing will happen but just some anecdotal evidence that it did work out for the better. 😃 I did not get a plane ticket anywhere. 😂 Needed to save money. The boss I have now has said in the past “I wish I could have a hundred of you.” While other bosses in the past have called me a rebel and we’d just butt heads. 🤷‍♂️ Personality differences. I’m also an INTJ.

One of my best days was when I got fired: went to a butterfly exhibit, watched my friend get LASIK, and found a strangers keys and he gave me $20 for my trouble!

June 16th was a nightmare 😢 so in sync with this video right now.

you have a beautiful home. it literally matches you

Being fired can set you back soooo far from your goals! You lose the money you saved up, you become financially dependent on your parents & you start to steal money or get that consent from your parents to use their credit card!! And sometimes you lose your rights to your bank account. If you are sitting in your car & you realize and wake up to all that happened to you try to get back on track. If you are unemployed for a long time you forget how to work. You forget how to work at a cash register & you forget how to function in a work place. You have to rebuild your skills. You get closer to becoming homeless. You have to live with your parents if you are in your 20’s. You have to have something that people wanna invest in or buy or purchase. So don’t give your stuff away for free! Make a profit off it. My family are narcissists and want me to be poor and financially dependent or to give them all the money i make. So i started using them for their money. And got them to give me consent to do so

It gets much worse...get busy with something.. health first

You are way more beautiful than working for any low intellectual thinkers who cant run there own life . GOD IS your boss ask him .he will help you ❤ much love 🤗 i got fired 2 months ago and i am happier than ever .if you wanna talk i am always here for 😊

I am really trying my best and it always the same problem - I have had trying working in several companies - and then get fired after one month.It is really depressing me that I get fired and fired over again,but I feel overwhelmed with the work. Always some problem happens after some days and I am tired of getting fired. Maybe working in first job market is not the right thing for me and I should not try working anymore ? Perhaps it is all too much stress for me and the companies have very high expectations which I am not able to fulfill

My last last job, during the pandemic, my company laid off more than half the employees and I was one of them. Chicago had some stupid rules for months that only emergency dental work could be done, and my boss made high end aesthetics for dental prosthetics, so few dentists were sending in work. That combined with only so many people being allowed in each room at a time, he was forced to let go of those not absolutely necessary for running the company. Technically, it was my dream job, making videos and running their social media, particularly RU-vid videos. But at the same time, during the BLM stuff in Chicago, there were riots and warnings not to go driving on the roads near Chicago because people were walking in front of cars and pulling people out of their cars, beating them up, and destroying their vehicles. The Best Buy near me was looted. I didn't feel safe at all. So I was actually glad to be able to move away back to my parents house. I ended up getting a job at the same place I worked at while still in high school, so a bummer there. But I enjoyed it somewhat anyway, and got some bills paid off. Then they installed a new General Manager and it was terrible, so I quit. But today I start my new job and I'm excited, not my dream job, but it's a company whose products I really can stand behind. I didn't expect to find another job so quickly. LAST NOTE: That's cool you also feel like God tells you things about diet, I thought I was just weird or my mind was playing with me. I just found this video by accident, an interview on the channel Diary of a CEO, with the "Glucose Goddess" aka Jessie Inchauspe (French). And after that awesome video, I bought her book "Glucose Revolution" and it's been a life-changer for me! PS: totally agree about the gluten and toxic sprays on food.

So how is everyone doin 6 months after being shitcanned?

Just got fired as well 😂

It's my sister who got fired not me, it was a new job with a toxic environment that she wasn't enjoying but it still really shook her hard...

I resigned on Thursdays, i was actually emotionally pushed to resigning by my supervisor. 😢 so yep

Hi, I've binged a few of your videos...which field do you work(ed) at?

were you fired or laid off?

@thelydshow Hi 👋🏼 Thanks for the calming video. Sending a hug. Hope you are doing better by now. I got let go last month from my logistics operations management role in Bangladesh along with 9 of my colleagues. The company messed up badly in business, so couldn't afford us. Tried to point finger at my performance. Pressured us to 'resign due to personal reason' to reduce their liabilities. I reported their harassment to the mother company in Italy and chose termination instead 😅. I joined a Gym and enrolled in IELTS right after that. I am allowing my brain to figure out the next career step while applying. I think you should do voiceovers as you have a beautiful voice. I am an aspiring Narrator. Do let me know if I can help in any project that needs a deep calm male voice. Take care

Being fired and getting laid off are different. Being fired, employee's at fault with something. Being laid off, company's at fault with something. Both result in termination.

You do not look like someone who stays unemployed for long.

The universe have something better for you in the future ⭐ Take care of yourself, do what you love, enjoy yourself. Intuition always guide us to the right path. It also want us to be patient and focus on ourselves, let the life unfold / do its job. INTJ emotions that come long after what happened 🤣: "Wait ? what happened ? I am sad ? What I am supposed to feel ? Why I am not angry ? Feel nothing and everything" I went to something similar the 17 December 2021, it was the last day at a temporary job I loved at a place I liked. I couldn't find anything better than staring at the starry sky. A car almost hit me in front of the building of my appartement. Since this day, I see the synchronicity, signs of the unconscious/universe. Job, material, coworkers, friends... nothing is stable, everything constantly change and is temporary, it's life, impermanence. (I read something like this in the book I read actually : "mindfulness in plain English")

Just got fired think I’m heading of the beach or the moutains for couple weeks or months on my own need to get out of this place

If she got laid off that means it mostly likely was seasonal

I got fired at macy's for an month.

hang in there, same thing happin to me

Fired or laid off?

Welp I’m in that 40% now 😅

I was in a job and my boss completely hated me.i.lasted 9 months

I just got fired during probation.

Fired or not i’d do it

Chat GTP?!? Nah...!

Ps i’am also gluten free

how you diong now, question

Tech jobs can be very brittle. So, most of them will die long term. Try to take the experience and move on. I've done multiple contracts, in a year. The fantasy of job security is just that,.... fantasy. If you do find it then you will be underpaid and that will be your next problem. The only real way is to go compete in the market. Everyone only talks about being in the top 4%. The other 96%-97% will always be behind. That's the way the system is working.. Always ask yourself, how much work do I own and who respects me and needs me at work?

we can grab hot chocolate from breka and go on a walk to english beach 🥹

Im struggeling to find a relationship with jesus eaven If im raised in a christian family.
