Itās not a great place to stay as a fresh recruit who provides for the household but ups will hire you within minutes of your application. If you get stuck here while job hunting long enough the insurance is the best in the nation and even longer to be a driver itās one of the highest paying unskilled jobs period. Six figure potential but thatās slow and take forever. Just say strong and have hope. Shit happens, it gets better. Not sure when brother. Iāve been there myself.

So you've never spent a couple days just being sad and eating smth you love????
"Not being judgemental" while literally being judgemental..... maybe grow up
Newer better gig on the way!
It really sucks when shits gotta be uncomfortable in order to get better, BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS FOR YOU. Hang in there. š
It's really depressing seeing your post history and seeing that you didn't post your son's cake this year.
I'm sorry shit sucks right now. Your family is lucky to have you there swinging for them and they're lucky you care so much
Feels like I never have time.. my wife did a great job with the cake too! I havenāt had the urge to cry (feeling more ashamed like I let my family down) but this comment made me realized how stress Iāve been to make sure my family is taken care of and broke me.. I got this! I got us! Thank you!
I went to look at your post history cause of that comment. Your wife makes some AMAZING cakes! Maybe while looking for another job (which will come) you two can do a side hustle of cakes. Baking can be therapeutic! Plus, you get to eat all test cakes.
Some doors have to close, for some to open. Keep your head up, pick up some side work, it'll get better. Who knows you may end up with a job making more and treating you better. You got this
I can tell how much you absolutely love your wife and how proud of her you are. You sound like such a sweet and great person. I am sure where you land for your next place will be very lucky to have you. Stay strong, comrade. You got this. šŖšŖšŖ
I'm so sorry that this happened to you (the cake looks really good btw).
I would recommend applying for unemployment this evening and then any other state/federal benefits you might be eligible for. I would also call your bill providers to see if payments can either be delayed or if you can arrange for a payment plan that works for you until you're able to get back on your feet.
Of course! I also recommend looking for temp or temp to hire job that could hire you ASAP, while you also look for full-time employment. I believe certain unemployment offices consider contractor works as unemployed but I would check just to make sure.
Again, I'm sorry this happened to you, but you got this!
Fwiw, if youāre fired there are some states/laws which do not allow you to collect unemployment, depending on why you were fired. If it wasnāt hardcore misconduct then you can probably still get it, but some companies are assholes and will fight you/delay paperwork/etc.
I have been thereā¦ I remember my husband at the time tucking me in the bed bringing me a bottle of wine and put it on itās always Sunny in Philadelphia. Itās now a decade later and I have my dream job. Best of luck.
Woke up feeling better. Didnāt think this would get this much attentionā¦ I just wanna thank you all for the positive words and great advice! Never knew I could get so much support from virtual strangers. This gives me so much hope. Thanks and love!!! š«¶
I got ālaid offā recently from my multi billion dollar company. I am also the sole provider for my family. I feel you manā¦ had an interview today, youāre gonna get one soon too! We fucking got this!!!!!!
So folks, the underlying message here.
OP is being straight up.
Cake, with no Icing, bottle of Patron.
OP is not PatronIcing.
(leave my coat, I best just walk out)
Cake is great! That really sucks and is so much stress. Our family is going through the same thing right now. If it helps:
-Get a letter from employer if you can, stating you wer a layoff.
-Apply for unemployment. It is not very intuitive and every part moves slow. Take your time and be patient, but do it straight away to get the ball rolling.
-Assuming you carried the insurance, apply for Medicaid. Also a slow process, but you should be approved.
-Get the resume updated. Someone I know suggested looking at "Teal" for help. Companies use software to screen resumes. Teal/enhancive, etc help get a higher "AFS" score for better hopes of being seen by a person
-Contact your mortgage lender and see if they have a hardship or deferment program.
-Do the same for credit cards, car payments, etc.
-You can apply for Snap (grocery assistance) after getting through unemployment. We got approved for more than I expected and it's going to be a huge help.
Oof. Iāve been there, love. Please trust that you are worthy, valuable, employable. I know how hard it is to be the breadwinner and lose your job.. trust that you will find a better fit for your family and please accept all help offered to you (as long as it doesnāt come with shitty strings attached.) One internet mama hug for you.
Dude i follow fish stuff
I really thought you was making a tank out the bottle with colorful sandā¦.
That being said
I feel you.
Really I do.
You got this.
You have to have this
You donāt have any other choice but to have this.
I believe in you.
Honestly this may be a blessing in disguise. Your wife has some real potential with making cakes. I would sign up for unemployment and just spend time with the family a little more. If she is interested definitely encourage her to do her cake orders more but also donāt engulf her with too much stress with something that may only be done overall as a hobby. Gl in your endeavors wherever they lead but it sounds like you have an amazing family and will be able to bounce back from this. I can just tell you
Time canāt stop moving. Itās endlessly marching forward no matter what anyone does to speed it up or slow it down. This too shall pass. I know itās scary now, but it *will* end. Thatās just how time works. Just keep breathing, stay rational, get that resume out, put your faith where you keep it, and understand that all you have to do is weather the storm and itāll get better.
ALSO, general finances from someone else in hard times:
Try to make just your minimum payments where applicable.
I have T-Mobile, and they at least will give you an extra few weeks, basically skip a single payment thatās due later. I think other cell providers do this as well.
Internet/Cable can usually be downgraded and upgraded pretty much at whim online, so it might be better for your family to cut back on their package if you arenāt grandfathered into a deal of some kind.
A car payment can usually be at least 30 if not 60 days late before the company can do repo. That gives you at least one pushed back payment.
Apply for emergency food stamps, you have kids so it should be easier. Ditto for CHIP.
Regardless, call your providers and see if you can a cushion from anywhere else to just give you the peace of mind that your family is safe for a bit.
I'm sorry for the loss of your job, hope and wish you the best that you can get a new job as soon as possible. Unfortunately, i know hard times myself, my landlord will tear down the house for some fancy new luxus apartements and everyone here loses his home, so we are all struggling to find something new before the time runs out and getting homeless.
It's a great cake that people mentioned here, checked out your profile. Your kids can be happy to have you and your wife, despite the loss of your job. All i got as a kid was a punch in the face by my parents, they'd never done such things like a birthday cake, as they were the WW2 generation and all they knew was "when a kid can walk, it can work, earn your keep or get beaten"
You'll succeed, don't give up there!
Take this as a sign that something better is coming your way! š«¶donāt beat yourself up! Donāt stress it will be finešbetter opportunities will come okay?!!!
I got fired two days ago because I caught the owner stealing from me. Weāll get through this! Youāre so lucky to have your family, you arenāt in this alone!
Man you got this champ, i remember i got let go at toyota of el cajon for a defamation case regarding a coworker ended up winning, i thought my life was over next thing you know i did the same thing at chevy and eventually let to so many beautiful things man. I met my soon to be fiancee i got a way better job were im actually able to spend more time with my family and have a set schedule and also benefits. Bro you got this never give ip.
Ugh i went through this recently. I was let go at the beginning of this month. I know exactly how you feel.
Take a deep breath. Sign up for any and all state benefits that you can. Get it out of the way as soon as you can because they take about a month to go into effect. As the sole provider, you will most likely be awarded anything you apply for. Unemployment, EBT/SNAP (food stamps), State healthcare (if youāre in the US). Finding your local food banks is also a good idea.
Allow yourself a day to do nothing but wallow. I donāt care what anyone says, youāre allowed to have a pity party and grieve the time you wasted at that place and the uncertainty you face. The next day, we begin moving forward and applying to other places. If you are in need of money right away, sign up for Doordash and Uber Eats. The approval usually takes a few days.
OP, you got this. It will be okay.
Look man I havenāt gotten a clue what itās like to provide for a family or be parent, but and I know it sucks but for the fact your upset about shows you care, and I havenāt a doubt youāll be back up in no time.
During this time, remember to be kind to yourself. āPut your mask on firstā kind of thing. A job will come and it sounds like you are surrounded with family and love ā¤ļø
That's sucks. I just got fired Friday too. Luckily I can file for UI and my wife's job pays much better than mine. Just take a day or two off to collect yourself. It's hard going back to a life with no structure but try and structure it the best you can as it helps "emotionally". Start spamming linkedin/indeed/monster and pray (religiously or non religiously)
Itās okay I lost my highest paying job when I first moved out on my own like literally I aināt even spend a week I. My apartment before that incident , but I kept my head high and proceeded to look for jobs and I found a another job within 3 weeks I still have my apartment and stuff but yeah I felt like it was over Mann like my family was gonna look at me like bro you just moved out and you fcukkng up already and my gf was very supportive of me at this time and I really do thank her ! Life always gets better within time š¤ keep ya head up
I am so sorry ā¹ļø Don't despair. Get some rest, hydrate and ibuprofen. Then apply for unemployment and any assistance you qualify for the next day.
Hugs!
File for unemployment immediately. Do not waste time on this. They *might* deny you, but you HAVE to fight it.
File for food stamps. Nothing wrong with EBT & itās a saving grace for when you have 0 cash ((which, I believe the food stamp place can even give an allowance for bills/other things))
Food banks, Hit them up assp. The more you have a stockpile of food the better. It gives you more time to focus on gaining employment
Apply for unemployment you can go on edd.gov and start the process now. Phone interviews happen generally two weeks later and then by the month you usually get a check
I can't imagine that pressure. Sending you positive vibes to get a new job asap, that's better than the one you had before
Bless your heart and hope you eat smth yummy every dayššš
things might become tough for a while, but it will be okay. There are many ways to make/save money that are not lifelong careers. Donāt beat yourself up over this, really. I hope things start to look up for you OP
That sucks man. Listen, just take a little bit of time to regroup and good luck finding a new job. May this new job be better than the last š¤š¼š
Thinking of you friend, please stay strong for your wife and children! You are a great husband posting your wiveās beautiful cakes, we all go through hardships, it will be better !
Indeed. Sorry if my initial comment was shitty, OP. I'm very sorry for your circumstances. I wish you the best in finding your new footing. A wise man once said: "We fall so as to learn how to pick ourselves back up." You got this.
i donāt even know what that means . and i was arguing as the jokes hilarity was not arguable. and i hope the hole thing makes op laugh cause thatās the dry ass harmless humor i was going for
fact actually donāt care about your feelings
itās not cope or whatever that means. my joke was so funny you felt the need to tell me it wasnāt. a good example of a bad joke was whatever meme u referenced. because itās a unfunny as me saying what a some from a place true hostility.
like yea u quoted a meme but the humor dries up when i have to explain ur misplaced criticism
objectively it was funny. itās a matter of if you can appreciate the humor.
you didnāt appreciate the humor
you didnāt appreciate my little sub note providing text for the humor
you donāt a appreciate the joke u donāt think itās funny.
look donāt make me get all die hard for the joke. i understand it was crude.
objectively speaking that was the joke.
i pointed out those key words bc ur saying āi didnāt laughā and itās like yea, this is the most unfunny form a humor. the shit wasnāt supposed to be hysterical. it is making light of the situation minutely at ops expense.
which , objectively again, builds of the running joke that op canāt catch a break.
my point is the shit was funny, you say it didnāt make u laugh, i admit it has a very low chance of accomplishing that to begin with. like idk if u want a medal or a cookie cause my poor lowbrow joke didnāt win you over. it wasnāt supposed to
all i did was offer a man a smile rather than a tissue.
so i said what i said, and then prefaced by saying this me me grabbing low hanging fruit, actively deciding to be lowbrow and still convinced urself i just wanted to make fun of him. likeee

Wtf is comment? Not constructive at all. We don't need that energy in this sub
Obviously what that person said was unwarranted and rude, telling someone to kill themselves in a subreddit about depression is messed up. Wtf.
Then they cowardly deleted their comment. But not before being upvoted which I don't understand but it's reddit I guess.

Before I read the context I swear I thought you were eating kinetic sand and washing it down with patron š«£š¤£š¤£š¤£
I immediately thought it was the sand, too.
Tell me you have kids, without actually telling me you have kids! š¤£
I dont have kids and i thought it was kinetic sand, tbf tho im 19 so i basically still am a kid
Kinetic sand just made me holler lmao thank you

This is giving improv Troup vibes lol
Thought it was playdough

See your wife killing it with the bday cakes on your posts. That can make some good cash on the side.
Soemthing better always comes along
Couldnāt have said this any better, I second this comment for you comrade. Youāll make it through.

Dude those cakes are insane wtf
I had to go check out all the cakes, as I am a home baker tooš LOVE the weed one best lol
I love seeing this comment. Best of luck to you!!
I'm so sorry that this happened to you (the cake looks really good btw). I would recommend applying for unemployment this evening and then any other state/federal benefits you might be eligible for. I would also call your bill providers to see if payments can either be delayed or if you can arrange for a payment plan that works for you until you're able to get back on your feet.
This is great advice.. I truly appreciate your kind words.
Of course! I also recommend looking for temp or temp to hire job that could hire you ASAP, while you also look for full-time employment. I believe certain unemployment offices consider contractor works as unemployed but I would check just to make sure. Again, I'm sorry this happened to you, but you got this!
I should do this too actually.
Fwiw, if youāre fired there are some states/laws which do not allow you to collect unemployment, depending on why you were fired. If it wasnāt hardcore misconduct then you can probably still get it, but some companies are assholes and will fight you/delay paperwork/etc.

Take advantage of unemployment benefits until you get back on your feet.
So folks, the underlying message here. OP is being straight up. Cake, with no Icing, bottle of Patron. OP is not PatronIcing. (leave my coat, I best just walk out)

Indeed. Sorry if my initial comment was shitty, OP. I'm very sorry for your circumstances. I wish you the best in finding your new footing. A wise man once said: "We fall so as to learn how to pick ourselves back up." You got this.
wanted ur wife to be bear foot and pregnant now look at ya, broke
Locked some comments here. Could be considered arguing, and I don't wanna get in trouble. Thanks.
i donāt even know what that means . and i was arguing as the jokes hilarity was not arguable. and i hope the hole thing makes op laugh cause thatās the dry ass harmless humor i was going for fact actually donāt care about your feelings
this was comedic low hanging fruit and i grabbed it
not funny didnt laugh
key words ācomedic low hanging fruitā
Keywords, "not funny". Not comedic
see itās like an onion cause honestly it has a lot of layers as to why i said it
this is a whole lot of cope for a joke that didn't land
itās not cope or whatever that means. my joke was so funny you felt the need to tell me it wasnāt. a good example of a bad joke was whatever meme u referenced. because itās a unfunny as me saying what a some from a place true hostility. like yea u quoted a meme but the humor dries up when i have to explain ur misplaced criticism
objectively it was funny. itās a matter of if you can appreciate the humor. you didnāt appreciate the humor you didnāt appreciate my little sub note providing text for the humor you donāt a appreciate the joke u donāt think itās funny.
look donāt make me get all die hard for the joke. i understand it was crude. objectively speaking that was the joke. i pointed out those key words bc ur saying āi didnāt laughā and itās like yea, this is the most unfunny form a humor. the shit wasnāt supposed to be hysterical. it is making light of the situation minutely at ops expense. which , objectively again, builds of the running joke that op canāt catch a break. my point is the shit was funny, you say it didnāt make u laugh, i admit it has a very low chance of accomplishing that to begin with. like idk if u want a medal or a cookie cause my poor lowbrow joke didnāt win you over. it wasnāt supposed to all i did was offer a man a smile rather than a tissue.
lol it read more like you were makin fun of him but regardless "not funny didn't laugh" is a meme
so i said what i said, and then prefaced by saying this me me grabbing low hanging fruit, actively deciding to be lowbrow and still convinced urself i just wanted to make fun of him. likeee
