Job Loss / myLot

Waltham, Massachusetts

August 3, 2017 4:16pm CST

I am so sad and upset today because I found out that I lost my babysitting job. This is the last week. I checked in about my hours for next week and was told that they can't afford to pay me anymore. It was such a shock and now I will have to keep looking for regular work and work at home. I have that potential job offer but it is not definite yet. I will try to tutor too. Have others experienced this?

Thank you and I do have a potential job offer pending good references and background check. I also may have another potential interview.

I had been teaching online more than 3 years now. It is not only fun but I can earn more than the regular job in my country. I think it is a good niche for me

I like tutoring ESL online and it is a nice way to make extra money. I think it is great that you can teach online too.

Sorry for you to experience this, I guess it's the economy. It's never cheap working over there. I can only do online, I can't even try to be active every day. If there's no online thing then I'm jobless too.

It is possible that the economy has an effect and also inflation with thebcost of living being so high. I hope that you always have work online so you always have work and income.
