If you were to have an unemployment crisis in your workplace, which of the following would you rather encounter?
The first situation: you have just graduated from university, you are 23-24 years old, and you are lucky enough to work in a large company, and you have been working in less than 4 months. However, since the project you were working on was not profitable, the company decided to lay off employees. Unfortunately, you're on the layoff list. At this time, I have some savings, enough for myself not to go to work for 1 year, but I am still very confused about what job to find in the future.
The second situation: you have worked in a company for 5 years, and after personal efforts, you have also become a management position in the company, and you are 33 years old. However, due to the adjustment of the company's organizational structure or other reasons, you are gradually marginalized; Then the company is not profitable, so you are also optimized by the company. You have a certain amount of savings, but when you count household expenses, mortgage, children's schooling, supporting your parents, etc., savings are also very tight. Despite years of work experience, finding a job can be difficult at this age.
Which of these two situations do you want to encounter?
I think most people would choose the first case. Because when I was young, I basically didn't have much pressure on life, family, marriage, etc. Moreover, youth is capital, and it is easier to find a job. In contrast, if a person is laid off at the age of 35, the life pressure they face is enormous, and it is not easy to find a new job with comparable pay at the same time. In large cases, the monthly salary before unemployment is 150,000, 4,000 new jobs after unemployment. There are many bloggers on the Internet who share examples of losing their jobs after the age of 35.
He was laid off at the age of 35, single and unmarried.
32-year-old female programmer married with no children I was made redundant.
There are too many of these examples, and most of the layoffs are private companies, and there are almost no cases in the system.
It's good to experience layoffs and job losses at an early age, as it will make you realize the cruelty of the workplace earlier. In the workplace, there is no empathy between the worker and the company, no matter how hard you work, the company will not have feelings because of your efforts. Once the company's business is not doing well or the business line is adjusted, there is no hesitation in laying off employees.
There are some hardships, if you experience them in advance, you will be able to suffer less in the rest of your life. There are some pits, if you experience it earlier when you are young, you will not step on it later. Therefore, experiencing the confusion and powerlessness after losing your job in advance can make you realize the truth of the workplace. Just when you are young, you can prepare in advance to deal with the workplace crisis that may arise later.
As for what to do in advance?
It is important that you have the ability to earn money after you leave the company. Only in this way, even being laid off will not affect your life. Therefore, when you go to work, you either use the company's platform to accumulate resources for yourself, or after learning skills, you can jump ship and raise your salary to save more money, and then look at the opportunity to go it alone.
Otherwise, start a side hustle, in other words, a part-time job is a side hustle, and life and your own business are your main hustle. Because you do your own things, the accumulation and income are your own, and your efforts and income in the workplace are often unequal. When you do a good job in the side hustle, there is no need to worry about layoffs, and even the side hustle earns more than the main hustle.
Then, for the way out after the age of 35, you must either save more money, or be admitted to the system early, or do it yourself. In short, plan early, the current workplace environment is like this!
