[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing a job is a traumatic event. I'm kind of aghast at how unsupportive you all are of your husbands.[/quote]

I agree it is a traumatic event.  But you should be over the shock within a day or two.  Then you put your focus on finding a new job.  Spend a few hours each morning searching, applying etc.  Then you spend the rest of your day doing things you've wanted to get done while working, working out, enjoying the free time, etc.

But if someone is moping around for weeks and weeks and months about not having a job, they need to grow up and face reality.

I have been laid off a few times.  It sucks....but being depressed won't help get you a job.  Have some savings, keep your resume updated, and have a plan for when it happens.[/quote]

I have known dozens of people who have been laid off or between jobs or couldn't get a job right out of school. Nobody is upbeat all the time or even half of the time. Nobody sets a goal of applying to at least five jobs per day and sticks to it. It is well and good to say people should do that. Nobody does it in reality so expecting them to is ridiculous.

(And if your response is "well I did!" please include your address so I can mail you a medal).[/quote]
