Sometimes you just need to say, “this is hard,” and have people nod because they get it. Whether you're dealing with contract limbo, leadership changes, unclear direction, or just one of those weeks—this thread is for you. Use it to vent, ask for advice, or just share what’s on your chest. No judgment here. Just community.

This sucks. Colleagues on the bench, clients who have no idea if they’ll be RIF’d, stock market is tanking while many are losing their jobs and need to dip into funds. Not a great time - vent over 😊

Lot of my colleagues have been laid off/terminated. I am safe for the foreseeable future, but it doesn't make me very happy either. Every day is a slog trying to do the same amount of work with fewer people/resources, with rumors of further cuts.

My partner and I have been unemployed for so long that our savings are approaching its last legs. We don’t want to be homeless and we stress every single day. It’s hard to believe that to experienced masters degree holders can’t even land an entry level role let alone a lateral one.

Gov contractor here, contract not cut yet but the one we were all under the impression we would move to was just simply not renewed. No idea what the clients doing with the work that was there. Just no longer important i guess. No one has job security anymore, i apply and i apply and most of the time even entry level gigs have 30/40% applicants with Masters degrees. How tf am i supposed to get a job? Going to end up homeless, have to send my pets ive had for years to a shelter idek why. Because dog man and orange man said so?
