Not looking for pity-just to vent.

Lost my job last week and just said goodbye to my grandmother who’s on hospice care (she’s been declining for a while, just making her comfortable at this point. Sad? Yes, tragic? No-she lived a full life). I know things are bad but working on a positive attitude. Know hiring picks up in Q1 and already have tons of leads. We moved from the city to the suburbs and took a larger apt since I had the salary (I don’t anymore, thank god for savings).

Hugs, i’m sorry you’re dealing with a tough hand. The silver lining may be that you got to spend time with your grandma in her final days that you might not have had if you’d been working. I’m happy everything worked out on the job front and congrats on the new gig.

Update-received another, higher competing offer and all before the holidays!

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for.

She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
