It’s tough because this job market is pretty shyt despite what CNN says. Plenty of bullshvt jobs at Target hiring, but good luck finding a decent one to replace his current one. However, he could benefit from a two month break and I find it easier to job search without a job vs an extremely stressful job.
Its a dice roll. I do agree that gaming chicks while unemployed is pointless unless he’s one of those World Traveling/YouTube Startup Mr.Fun Brad’s that’s funded by Daddy’s money.
I agree that the job market is shiit right now. I don't recommend quitting at all into this market. His break could exceed 6 months. It took me over a year to get hired when I graduated in 2008 and over 6 months in 2020. I also got fired in 2013 from an inept organization and was re-employed in 4 months.
I have wisdom to share in relation to both my 2013 and 2020 dismissals.
In white collar work, there are few terminations for behavioral reasons since white collar workers tend to not have attendance, behavioral, or other disciplinary issues. It's way more common for those in blue collar to have drug abuse issues, theft issues, attendance issues, or other things. In white collar work, there are occasional employee performance issues but that's often the fault of the employer for hiring someone who wasn't going to be a good fit for the job. That's also not even close to the majority of terminations in white collar work.
The majority of terminations in white collar work are not the fault of the employee at all.
The majority of terminations in white collar work are usually the fault of executive management of that organization devising poor business strategy and implementing that strategy through faulty tactics.
When there are white collar layoffs due to the ineptitude of executive management, they are often executed in a politically correct manner. White males are laid off first.
Women are rarely victims of white collar layoffs. On the occasions where women are laid off, it is because the company is in such poor shape that they had no choice but to get rid of lesser performing women after ditching the non-protected white male class.
In 2011, Roosh wrote the definitive guide to getting laid while unemployed. No seducer, past or present, ever wrote an article about getting laid while unemployed.
I tried to apply some of the elements of this article during my 2013 stint of unemployment. I don't think it was all that easy to do. It's very difficult to convince younger women that you are worthwhile while you are unemployment, even if you are buffered by savings and investments.
My 2013 stint of unemployment was one of the best periods of my life. I was sleeping late into mornings for a couple of months, reading Manosphere content, and relaxing. I was 30 years old and when you are 30, it's one of the last periods of your life when you're still considered young enough to be irresponsible.
My woman life was affected by 2008-09 unemployment, 2013 unemployment, and 2020 unemployment.
Also, try and get something locked in before like late October because HR basically closes from November to January from my experience.
Yes. This was a major factor in my 2013 firing. I was dismissed in late September. It was mostly unexpected, as was 2020. I didn't have any momentum in a job search in September, so starting from scratch. I got my job offer in January 2014, but I had submitted my application for the job I eventually got during the holidays.
White collar work is often slow in hiring. There are often big gaps from the time that you submit a resume until you start interviewing. 2-4 weeks is normal on random resume submissions. Random resume submissions have some similarity with swipe apps and sliding into DMs on social media.
It's better to network into jobs but I've never had a good professional network. I have a fair amount of LinkedIn connections but none have been useful in job searches. In theory, white collar workers are supposed to be highly networked at all times. In theory, white collar workers need to be going to industry events while employed to build connections for when shiit hits the fan at a job. I've been to business networking events and industry association events within my line of work. I found those networking events to be a complete waste of time and useless.
The future is entrepreneurship. Clarey recommended leaving corporate to Karens. I think the future play is entrepreneurship, side hustle, freelance or consulting. Not actually working directly with a corporation but consulting.
I agree. Entrepreneurship is tough. Most business ventures fail and fail fast. I would do the entrepreneurship thing but I don't have the ability to launch and sustain a business. Leaving corporate to the Karens is a great idea in theory but difficult to implement in the real world for white collar workers. One of the best ways to avoid corporate without entrepreneurship is a blue collar/manual labor type job. Entrepreneurship is useful in the blue collar/manual labor space too. Various contractors do well as do plumbers. A guy can start his own plumbing company or HVAC repair company.
There was a reason why the main character at the end of Office Space left his white collar job for a blue collar manual labor job. It's very relatable to a lot of non-pussified white collar males.
