This scares me... i mean our current company is losing money because of pandemic and also some regulation issues. its sad that we employees feel we might be let go anytime soon, etc its just a matter of time. When these things happen what should we do? When you also have a team to support and when you know they'll lose their job soon.. Im a bit worried for them too apart from being worried for myself. Have you experienced anything like this? What did you do? Was it easy to find a new job? Was online job hunting an option?

I experienced that too when I used to work in a construction company and the projects was too low to survive I tried to search for another job that time and good thing I found another one. Life before is much better that time. I`m not so sure today

@chiyosan It is a lot of stress to work for yourself, if you have no clients you get no money, it was hard, we always did our best.

@chiyosan Is there a way because of this virus that if you do find yourself out of work that you can be ok financially for awhile because you have to find work again? Yes, I have been out of work and it was so hard to find another job or find what I wanted to do.

Though I have not personally experienced it, I know of people who have lost their job in this pandemic crisis. It's tough to deal with. And finding a new job also is tough in this situation.

It can be scary to lose your job. I have lost my job, and it's not always easy to deal with. That's just the way life is, and you have to try and adapt.
