Does unemployment bother you if it so happens to you?

Hello carolbee. I am glad that you don't have to worry about your job and that of your hubby's and kids'. For sure we feel good when we are safe from our work. I wish you to enjoy your life and work. Take care.

My only concern would be if Social Security ran out of money! Am enjoying the lazy life and love it.

So I can see your concern about it. But anyway, I wish you all the best and enjoy your lazy life that you love.

:) it seems i had posted twice on this thread due to our slow internet connection at home... anyway, that's good news for your relative... take care too :)

Hello jeb. I can understand the situation you mentioned here because one of my relatives has to look for another job when he got laid off. Luckily for him, he got one soon afterwards. Take care, jeb.

I can understand that men have many responsibilities to their families. Today the teacher can be a good and stable job. The benefits are a lot especially when you work in a good school. I think sometimes teaching job is available when you have the good social relationship. Here not all the teachers I know are qualified to be good teachers, but they still work in the school without problems.

Hello youless. I used to be a teacher in a public school years ago, but I quit and came to work in a private one for higher salary. I have worked here for more than ten years and have experienced a lot here seeing teachers come and go every year. Now the school is getting more and more strict with its teachers. The students' comment to teachers is of vital importance and influence. There is no problem for me to stay working here so long as it exists, but when seeing some of them dismissed, I feel upset for them. But anyway, the school only keeps good and qualified teachers for its own survival and profit as well. There have been quite a few times when I thought/think of moving somewhere to Guangdong, but I was and still am lazy taking the trouble looking for a new teaching job. Guangdong is a better place for me as it is close to my hometown, but my best friend here told me not to, saying that the salary offered there is not true. I did struggle a lot in my mind about leaving for a new school for higher salary in Guangdong, but I am no longer young and it is not that easy for me to find one any more. If there were another chance, I would give it a try. Also I have to work to support my family. It is really too much for a married man though. Anyway I love working and it is a basic way of living as well. Have a good day, youless.

Hello elitess. I am still employed in the same school and have been working here for more than ten years. Things today are different from what it used to be. It is much more competitive than it used to. So we have to work harder and achieve more if we expect to keep on working here. Sometimes I have the intention to move on, but as I am busy and also because I am used to everything here, I usually give up my original idea, feeling quite puzzled. But anyway since I am working here, I make it a rule to work as effectively and successfully as I can. Enjoy your work, elitess.

Hello johney. This colleague of mine who was dismissed from our school is arranged to work in a hotel run by the boss. Of course he would not get as much as he used to. Sometime last month I met him in the hospital with a short time chat. He seemed to like his new work there, but I am not sure how long he will stay working there since his major is not related to hotel management. I wish he could do a good job there. Thank you for your response, friend.

Hello Bingster. I can see that it is not that easy to start a new job with a new environment. There have been a few times when I wanted to move to somewhere else for a teaching job, but my best friend persuaded me not to and I am now still staying where I have been working for so many years. You are right that there must be some reasons that one is dismissed from his work and the reason is not that difficult to figure out. Therefore in our usual working period it is a must for us to manage to work as well and effectively as we can to save our job. Thank you for your response, my dear friend. Take care.

Hello jeb. I agree that even small-time jobs without as much as we could earn in a regular normal job helps for our survival. So I guess it might be a good idea for us to have some part-time jobs as well. Good luck with you, friend.

Hello xiaoyue. As to their unemployment, it is to some degree related to the students comment to the teachers at the end of each school term on the questionaire for them to fill in. We have this questionaire for two times a year. If the students are pleased with their teachers, they will give good comments and vice versa. Besides, it is very competitive in the school. I wish you to enjoy your work, xiaoyue. Take care.

I see that it bothers us a lot when we have a family to support unless we could find another job very soon. Have a good day, azinbme.

Hello bin. I agree with you that it is a good policy to do my work sincerely and effectively and so it is the same with anyone else in the same school or company. Be blessed, bin.

Hello meapas. I agree that kind words work. My brother-in-law left his state-owned factory a few months back and he immediately found another one, which is much better. It is a bank job supervising the camera during the night when everyone is back home off work. He likes the job. Take care, meapas.

Hello jhyan. It is the same case with me that I am the bread-earner in my family. It is hard for me to imagine if that should happen to me. You are right that the only solution would be to look for a job immediately without wasting time for going on making money to support the family. Good luck with you, friend.

I wish you to find a good job soon with good luck, dear friend.

Hello darapmonsta. You are right that we are always connected with cell phones, which is a good way of staying in touch with each other. Take care, my new friend.

It is hard to say that nowadays we could have an absolutely permanent and stable job since it can change anytime and anywhere. You are right that we should keep on praying to thank God for the job that we have and trust him to always provide. Everyone needs to have a job to go on with his life and support his family. Be blessed, friend.

Hello shira. I am very happy to know that you lived through that period of time smoothly with the help your kind parents. I agree that it does affect us to some degree when we have to move from one working unit to another, especially when we have worked in the same place for so long a time. Sometimes when I am thinking of moving somewhere else to work, my friends tell me not to and then I choose to stay. Anyway, I wish you to enjoy your new work and life. Take care, shira.

An unstable job influences us a lot. So I am thinking that I should try to save more money on rainy days and try to find some information for a new job a few months before the end of each school year in case unemployment should happen. Take care, friend.

Hello greenteab. I agree that economic condition is getting better now, but the chance of losing one's job is still possible. Anyway I am positive about my job. Thank you for your response. Have a good day.

Hello incus. I agree that when one door is closed, another one is usually open on the condition that we are determined to find another one. Good luck with you as always, friend.

I agree that we have to look on bright side of things and think positively. Maybe it is a good thing that we are dismissed and we may find a better job with a higher salary. So who knows what will happen if we find another job soon. Take care, nicole.
