I got laid off

Two months ago, I got a promotion at my job. Higher salary and, above all, a boost to my self-esteem. I was performing well; feedback from everywhere was amazing. Everyone I worked with loved me, and the company recognized my dedication and rewarded me with a promotion!

I was happy and satisfied. I enjoyed a nice trip with my girlfriend to Venice (we live in the Netherlands, and I'm Italian).

My career was going well. I had found a job that I loved and excelled at.

One month ago, I got laid off. Apparently, my company has two heads that don't communicate with each other. One head is the managers who actually do the job and work with people; the other head is the stakeholder-pleasers who don't care at all about people, but just about numbers.

The US didn't reach the quota this year, so let's cut all the EU market. It doesn't matter how well they're doing; they are too small in comparison.

And the people who work there?

Probably the answer to this question was: Who?

We got laid off—me, my team, other European teams. All our work, planning, and energy didn't mean enough.

It happened in a few hours. One minute I was enjoying my first salary after the promotion, and the next minute I was crying because I would soon be kicked out of the system.

I feel like I fell from the top of a building.

Everybody around me is saying not to worry, that I'll find another job, that I'm qualified, and everything will be good.

The truth is, nothing is good. I feel like shit. I have Rejection Sensitivity, so you can imagine how fun it is to receive tons of rejection emails for your applications.

And what about the tips about CVs, cover letters, and all the different application methods that exist? One goes against the other, and you're left more confused than ever.

People are telling me to take it easy, that I have time and I just started my application process, but I'm not good, I'm not feeling good. Then I think: what the fuck has this world made us become? Why do I feel so worthless when I didn't even get fired? I was a good worker, but still, it wasn't enough. Why can't I help but think that without a job, I'm nobody?

The absurd thing is that I would never think this of any of the people I know. People I love, including my girlfriend, have gone through periods when they didn't have a job and needed to find a new one. During those times, never, even for a second, did it occur to me to judge them or think less of them because they didn't have a job. So, why am I so hard on myself? Why can't I take all of this with more serenity? What's wrong with me?

I've opened this blog just to vent and let my thoughts out. I wanted to come across as a bit more funny, but today is not a very good day. Hopefully, I'll soon sharpen my "virtual pen."

Can anybody relate? Have you gone through it? Any suggestions? Anybody else need support?

24.03.09 NOMADOFNOWHERE Tour

Fanrepo (ファンレポ) Day 7

Yokoso minna!

Merch

2 hours before the goods line was opened and already there were 2,300 people queueing? 😱

There's a signature on the panel today 🥰

Greeting (X post)

He did it! He really did it this time!!! 😍 I WANNA WATCH IT TOO 🙏💕

Ryo x Jun (I wanna give this awesome keyboardist flowers lol)

3月9日 when he was 21 (X post)

He's now 39 and he's gonna appear in a drama on April 🥰 (X post) ...this guy is really somebody I wanna support ALL MY LIFE... or something like that, tbh...

Let's be honest... this song is popular until now not just coz it's viewed as a graduation song but also coz Ryo's fandom keeps it alive by celebrating it every year on this date 🤭💕 (trivia about the song)

I also think Ryo understands our affection for Asou-kun and he wants to respond to us as much as possible... singing the 3月9日 together with the audience is really the best thing he could've ever done, like... what can ever top this for the ichiritoru/Asou-kun fans now? Please do this every time you have a concert date on March 9th from now on, Ryo! 😆 (X post)

Ryo tried to tease his fans but ended up sounding like he's sulking 🤣 (X post)

Jun to the rescue! 🤭 wow, they did the whole song? 😱 that's so luxurious 💕 (X post)

So, today was Shitsumon BOX and not Letter BOX? There were 5 of them...

Q1.

I don’t use Amazon... but this is pretty funny 😂 (X post)

Q2.

Dude really answers all kinds of questions 🤣

Why was he complaining about his pain from swiping?? (is this a double entendre thing , or was he obliviously innocent 🤣?)

Fans in the venue be like... what is this I'm hearing?? (also, Ryo putting tabloids out of business with all the TMIs lol)

Wasn't this a public secret back then? He put his real photos or something on the app, and some fans found out about it iirc, right? (it was a long time ago, and my memory is fuzzy). He really does live as he likes even when he really couldn’t lol

OHHHH this is new info hehe

He's such a smooth operator lol I like him a lot too (X post)

Q3-5.

This advice about #workstruggle cracked me up lol (X post)

Ryo x Jun and the mysterious "firefly's light" performance...

Ryo keeping his sappomen on their toes lol (X post)

The "light of the fireflies" song is related to Omodoro? How so? 🤔 (X post)

Jun said the song was his improv 😆 (X post)

Ryo, who's cute since birth, can't understand why people keep giggling or crying when he says random stuff lol

🍑🤭

Yep, his cuteness is incurable lol

Halp 😆💕

I think everybody was overwhelmed by his cuteness today lol (X post)

The way he always prepares tour dates during the release of his dramas/movies just so he can directly ask his audience this kind of hard-hitting question is extremely brave... and also the cutest thing I've ever encountered in any fandom I've been in. Honestly, #actorRyo is fearless to be doing this not just once but EVERY SINGLE TIME...

He also asked the audience about the futeki_tbs drama 😆 (X post)

How could anybody dare to disappoint him by not raising their hands when he asked if they'd watched it? 🤭 (X post)

The 💩 commentary didn't come up today tho 😂 (X post)

3 oyasumi songs? What are those? I need to look up the setlist again... (X post)

Cute ending greeting 😆💕 (X post)

For somebody who doesn't eat much/isn't a foodie, Ryo somehow always talks about/is associated with food... and I find that pretty funny but also adorable 🤭

It's impossible to not have regrets about our fam & friends tho... but I love how Ryo's always gently pushing us about this through his works and his awkward MCs as if he were our kind neighbourhood ojisan who worries about us a lot 😆 (X post)

Sappomen post

I love how Kuroda-san keeps giving fans pick souvenir... I haven't seen any post from the fan who got it today tho (X post)

This is a funny observation about the pick-throwing event tho lol (X post) but tbh, I don't think Ryo's jealous... he's probably worried some fans would go overboard and get hurt/trampled while trying to get that smol souvenir. Please be careful, everyone... if you get hurt, Ryo would be blamed by media & the public coz it's his tour... 💁‍♀️

The struggle is real you guys! I was in work mode, ready to brainstorm and create some new designs on @canva for my shop and this happens.

I was described as “brash” by a couple of employees at work. Definition #1: “self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way.” Definition #2: “strong, energetic, or irreverent.”

Have you ever felt 24hrs to be way too less for a day? I feel that very often, infact everyday. I always have a heaped up work schedule and the clock ticks much faster than it used to tick before. - But not very soon I understood that this is not a personal problem but a problem that many others has been facing in history as well. I learnt them from some books and blogs I read. - So, one thing was for sure. 1. I was not really that lazy to complete the to do list in a day (I always thought that though I was working hard everyday) 2. This problem is not just with me. - Finally, I started researching more and more and this is how I got to this post. I thought this might be an issue (actually not an issue) for many and this post could help. - Think over it and share what you feel in the comment section. Do not forget to like, share and tag someone who MUST know this. - 🔥 Join Me @debasisbasurii 🔥 🔥 Join Me @debasisbasurii 🔥 🔥 Join Me @debasisbasurii 🔥 - 🚀Save This Post For Later 🏆Turn On Post Notifications _ _ _ _ _ #passiontowork #passiontoworkhard #passionatewoman #passionateliving #passionateentrepreneur #struggler #strugglelife #workstruggles #entrepreneurstruggles #entrepreneurlessons #entrepreneuradvice #entrepreneurtips108 #entrepreneurtips101 #entrepreneurshiplife #entrepreneursmindset #hustlepreneur #businesssuccesstips #yourbusiness #growbusiness #startbusiness #businesspassionate #businesshustle #businessadvisor #businesswoman👜👠 #businessconsultant #businessgrowthexpert #businessdeveloper #businessconsultantdelhi #debasisbasuri #debasisbasurii (at Delhi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKqTTJhBoP/?igshid=f7gzdb90rewv
