![StraightFelon's "Gays and Sissies in Prison" Video [My Reaction] 😳](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7b9DAeOeYFo/mqdefault.jpg)
The support you guys have offered me has been amazing. 🙏
After sharing this story of feeling disempowered at the hands of ego-driven people - straight men, in particular - it feels so rewarding to have a community of people saying "I hear you, I relate to you, and I believe in you." Thank you for offering me that compassion and grace. It's been a really bizarre journey to go from getting fired, to literally the exact same week, seeing my TH-cam channel's viewership, subscriber count, and ad revenue skyrocket. Let's see where this takes us!🚀
Companies have no loyalty and show no loyalty. Remember that.
Accurate!
You are like me. The best thing that ever happened to me was getting fired in my 40s, because that forced me to finally be an entrepreneur. I own my time now and do what I want for more money. So don't be afraid to venture out into the world on your own terms!
Love that! Let's see what happens 🤞
Gay men are too good for corporate jobs. We are designers of the world. Make your own vision come to life!
LOVE this. I agree that we're often the architects of our communities.
You mean straight men RULE the world.
Just like Jesus and his 12 good looking male "friends" in chiffon robes who enjoyed good food, wine and beauty. So we gays are all I'm good company
Too good. You’re never too good to do any job.
Ahhh! But save the sperms in the freezer with vials mate otherwise we'll lose the essence de magnific! We have to be sure gay dna survives! Gay dna yay!
Keven, trust me, you have so much of your life ahead of you and you are going to be fine buddy. This is a new day and beginning for you. Right now, embrace that uncertainty and turn it into a blank canvas. Sometimes we exit a job at our own volition, and sometimes we are "let go".. RELEASED. That feeling of relief was valid and earned. This was my first time watching you, and I can tell you that you are not too honest. You were just working with a bunch of fakes. You are real. ❤ Best wishes.
Thank you Larry 🙏
Remember when one door closes another one opens. Embrace the change..

"I got fired and went to the Caribbean" - a sentence not a lot of people can say......
I mean I have savings...I've been working full-time for about a decade...
@@KevenTalks That's right! You worked hard, you saved, and you can cope however you want. I'd do the same -- a vacay in the tropics. YOU DESERVE THE VACAY!
Thank you Marc 🙏@@theLifeofMarc
Its happening to a lot of us IT folks also. Companies want everything you can give, then throw you away, but still want your business.
Yeah. I mean it's not like companies are known for empathy or values, lol, but it's really gross when you're on the receiving end of everything wrong with a cut-throat capitalist system 🫠
Eerie reality, you got to know about royalties and patents.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I spent 36 years in corporate America with my mask on. I think you know what you have to do if you stay in an office job. I was able to do it so long because the pay was so good. However, if you want to be yourself 100% and say what you want (no matter how tactful) -you’ll probably have to start your own business. Wishing you all the best!! I find you very charming and I love your TH-cam channel!!!
Very true about doing things on your own. Thank you 🙏
I love your honest self-reflection and the way you are not bitter about the situation, just taking it as the next step in your life. Great attitude!! Good luck finding a new job you feel comfortable in.
Ugh thank you so much! BTW I am actually totally bitter so I'm impressed that did not come across 😂
😂 😂
In my doctoral dissertation I remember a specific directive. That is to never feel like you cannot choose another path... you can work with thru or around a circumstance and still come out on top and maintain your integrity and serenity!
I was fired from my job over in the UK last year for something I didn’t do they just wouldn’t let people go because they were stupid and thought it would make them look bad if they lay off lots of staff. So while I fought back and won my job back and then told them where they could shove it! But now I’m preparing to go to university and finally do all the things that I want to do not what others want to me to do! Honestly you’ll find your way now that you’re not being held back! ❤
So sorry you lost your job. I hope you find a better job. You are so cute.
So please don't change you'll be okay you're awesome we are awesome people don't second guess who you are you're that way for a reason.
I love how you open the camera and share your stories with us in this way, you are so sweet🫶🏻💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you for watching! 🙏
I can 112% relate I've experienced this so many times And like yourself when I was fired from each job. It was always too to my personality. They would say directly that I didn't have the right personality for my job. And I said too much. But then of course would find. Another reason and put it on paper as an actual termination.
I took have been fired once. Very unsatisfactory feeling. I hope that you find you spot in the World where you can make money to pay your bills and still be able to be honest and straightforward. Again, sorry you were fired, but I think it may be what you needed to get yourself in gear for what is coming!!!!
Totally 🙏
What an absolute coincidence the first & only job I ever was fired from was as an RA from the University of Washington because when I was on patrol, we had to do periodic rounds of room checks from like 9-12, this was on Valentine’s Day (I still remember the very day hahah) a group of residents on were having such a small room party where there was alcohol but I turned a blind eye and the Resident Director found out. Good luck on the job front! I just secured a role and move from Seattle to New Hampshire mid April. You got this. I fervently believe everything happens for a reason & you are onto something brighter! Sending good energy your way!
Omg what a crazy coincidence indeed!
Good luck with the move to the East Coast :)
I have NO idea what brought me to your channel Keven. But I enjoyed your dialogue, and you have the most beautiful color of eyes I have ever seen! Good luck with your journey, and I will check out your content! :)
Thank you John! Hope you stick around :)
I have been fired a million times yet here I am
lol welcome!
Most entrepreneurs think they’re starting a business, but what they really are doing initially at the very early stage is creating a job for themselves. Some entrepreneurs never graduate from creating a job for themselves and that’s okay. My advice is to assess what your skills are and then figure out how to sell those skills. Either as a product, a service, hourl,y whatever and run ads and sell that service to people who need it. Then figure it out from there.
Kevin, that jerk thought he was punishing you for not being delusional. But with being in the picture, that job would have been very trying to your mental health. He actually liberated you and you are free to find something you love. The universe is indeed leading you. Follow it's call. While youre on vacation, read Louis Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life."
🙏
When I was let go from my job in 2017, I was upset. Later down the road, I realized my previous company did me a huge favor. If I wasn't fired, I wouldn't be making double the pay I'm making now. There are reasons why firings happen. Sometimes it's to better yourself.
That's amazing! Congrats 👏
I relate to this so much… I recently quit my job due to multiple family emergencies going on at the same time… One the one hand, I’m like ahhhh! On the other hand there’s this liberating feeling of like, okay, what’s next? The world’s in front of us…. 🤗
I stumbled into your video. Oh my god. You’re quite centered. I was actually blown away by your sense of calm. And honesty. Admitting you were not drinking the koolaid and possibly thought of as a nay sayer, wow.Wow, WOW!!
I subscribed!
Wow - I haven't been feeling centered or calm at all so I appreciate that. 😅
Maybe that's a sign that subconsciously, this needed to happen?
Thank you for subscribing and hope you stay tuned! :)
I've been there before one time with being fired and it one of the worse experiences ever...My manager lied on me and said that I used profanity and obscene language and got away with that...they took her word and she had been there over 15-17 years back in 2014. This woman I thought was my friend and to find out she wasn't and she had been hinting that here and there and I was being naive to the facts. I had a colonoscopy earlier that year and I had no one to go with me because family members said that they could not take off and what little people I thought were friends said the same thing and she said she would take me and bring me back home....All I have to say in that situation is that these folks are not your friends in the workplace, from managers to other co-workers. This person tried to destroy me and thank god I didn't let her do this to me. I do have trust issues because of this woman. I had the hardest times over the years trying to find different jobs because I was at this place 3.5 years and had to maneuver that time on my resume and gap. Yes, I am a minority gay individual and so was she.
So sorry to hear this. I totally get what you mean about it affecting your trust or faith in people - even if it is the workplace.
@@KevenTalks Thank you...And I use to be an open person and told her that I was trying to get my bachelors in business admin. at the time and I believe she was jealous of that and I believe that she only had a associates degree. plus, I believed that she may have been undercover/lowkey homophobic too.
So very sorry you got fired from your job, Keven😓
You solve that by workinh for yourself..free lance...you will do well and you will control your destiney
Having worked in a large company for 25 years I can tell you discrimination does occur and almost 100% who is discriminated would not know. They will tell you lies for what you are fired so don’t take it literally. Nevertheless you will be fine you are smart and talented.
I could only play the corporate game for so long until I had enough of the BS they expected of their employees. I finally left the corporate world and started my own creative business. You are a very intelligent sweet guy and I am sure you will find a way to find or create employment that fulfills your talent and soul! ❤❤
That's fantastic! May I ask what kind of business you created?
@@KevenTalks I am a freelance nature photographer, graphic artist and I gig as a keyboard player for some local bands. This has brought so much fulfillment and joy to my life!
I bet! That's fantastic! It sounds like you have your hand in a bunch of different pots.@@vitrock1
But at least you got your act together. Gotta education and work pretty decent careers jobs. I've not done either and you're about 7 years younger than myself. It's totally normal to go through what you're going. I'll be turning 39 and I still haven't completely got my act together.😅😮😢
Speak your truth wholeheartedly, however work on your side hassle interest to develop your own company for yourself first then others.
Honesty, the only Job in my whole life that was all work and no drama was McDonalds back in 1991 to 1992. All other jobs Ive had in the past were full of mean people and some nice people. Its all just luck in my opinion to find a perfect job. Keep fighting my friend. Always stand up for yourself! ❤
You can always rely on McDonald's! 😅
First - I loved the energy of this video so I subscribed. (Your beautiful eyes helped too lol). Dude I was “let go” two times in my career. I retired Friday btw. When I got let go I decided fuck this, I am writing my own ticket. I returned to school for a masters and a doctorate. I never worked full time again and made a lot more money and…the places that let me go folded and I am still here. Keven this is not a death sentence…this is a new chapter for you. You are right, there is a straight male energy that some str8 guys have that is toxic. Look at it this way, you got splashed by some mud, but you did not fall into the puddle.
Congrats on retiring! :)
This life is happening “for you!” Not “to” you. All are life ways speaking to you. Listen. 🙏
🙏
Hey Listen!! Don't you worry 'bout a thing! I'm sure many other companies will love to employ you or even work WITH you rather than have you work for them? Think about things with that mindset darl'... I would give you a pat/hug if I could! 😍😘
"I just want to show up and do my job."
Work culture is backwards in a lot of companies, for sure!
It's for the best. It sucks right now, BUT if they 'fire' you for having your OWN mind, then you should work for a company that aligns with your beliefs. Life is TOO short! Give your energy to where it can achieve something!
Totally agreed. Your energy & time are limited, and should be used towards productivity, not playing office politics.
Sometimes we can almost get too caught up in thinking rather than sitting back and contemplating, reappraising the direction in which we want to go. I understand the feeling of betrayal especially when you feel like you've been a loyal team player. The best part in your circumstance is that you realized "They're not wrong", but only because you had a different perspective than they did which may have been of help to the company. I've been around 'narcissists' like this who think they better themselves at the expense of others. It's like a kind of entitlement syndrome. I have been fired twice in similar situations. Thankfully I got away from corporate as I found the thread that runs through my life that led me to a vocation for which I had more of an affinity. You're on the right track no doubt, I mean obviously since you're brainstorming and relieved simultaneously. You were just in the wrong place with that job is all. I highly recommend listening to Michael Singer youtube videos. There are hundreds of them so listen to at least three. You will be okay.
Oh yes I've read a book by Michael Singer years ago!
Thanks for sharing and being so transparent. I have a similar experience....However I have no net...No parents or no one as a safety net, so it's 10 times scarier bro...I felt the same way about my position and I do feel relieved, being let go.. However it's very scary. I lost my position because I asked for more money. I wasnt being compensated fairly and got let go because I asked for a raise.. 2 weeks later. I got a message that my landlord wants to evict me. I'm in very scary times. I'm a black man, so I can relate to feeling different and coming to the table with a different perspective, and the feeling of not being fully understood. The neighborhood I live is predominantly white and I never felt accepted by my landlord or neighbors. I knew the landlord was just waiting for a reason. I also do enjoy the idea of what can be around the corner. I was not happy with my job or my landlord and I was just surviving as I would put it. However not having a job or a place to lay my head. Is very very scary bro....All the other emotions you talked about i'm experiencing as well. I feel what you are doing is so so healthy. Your transparency is a beautiful thing to watch, and from watching the video I know you value this about yourself as well.
Thank you so much and it's amazing that you can offer so much empathy when you're going through an even tougher time. I hope you figure it out soon. If I may offer some advice - in these moments of uncertainty, our instincts are to panic and freak out - but since it sounds like you need $ asap, I'd recommend using that transparency to your advantage by walking into a place that's usually hiring (a restaurant, bar, shop, etc) and explain that you're happy to learn quickly, start asap, etc. Best of luck to you 🙏
Very interesting to here your point of view on this.
I can emphasize with you when it comes to working in an environment that is not the best for you.
I also loved the part where you said that you want to be more fulfilled at this stage in your career. I agree. If we have to work to survive, might as well be something we can find enjoyment doing.
Im sure opportunity will come your way. Wish you the best!
And minor update: Im the guy thats trying to get hired by the Secret Service from your worst job interview video.
I mentioned that I was on stage 3 of the hiring process. Well, as of yesterday I made it to stage 4: the panel interview.
I got an email this morning and I was excited but neusous af reading that. Whew, wish me luck 😭💅🏽.
You're almost there!!! 🥳
@@KevenTalks 💪🏽💪🏽
Extremely handsome eyes even match the shirt
lol it's all part of my strategy! 😂
1. I understand going thru this type of experience..you will survive.
2. You said you "hate ambiguity & uncertainty.
A small tip..try& it's tough, but u will feel.better about your self. Is you eliminate the word " hate " from your vocabulary.
Use instead " dislike "
I get your point - I'm too emotionally attached to these experiences, maybe?
@KevenTalks ...thanks 4 the reply. Excuse the typos.
Don't fault ourself 4 being attached.
P.S. you are bright & handsome. I wish you were a friend of mine. You have a teriffic outlook & obviously charming
I am nearly double your age and had my time dealing with corporate America. They are evil and the only thing that matters to them is money. People that work for them in managerial positions are miserable. They see someone like you: bright, energetic and happy and they can't wait to squash it. Misery loves.. uh...DEMANDS company. I stiffled my emotions for years in order to keep a job and I can tell you with absolute certainty that those unresolved emotions cause illness in the body. Get out while you can and work for yourself, even if it means living in a hut for a while. Nothing is worth your health or sanity. With your positivity and dedication , you can make success out of anything that you want. Just decide what that thing is and put your heart into it. You'll be fine. 💜
I have been worrying for a while about how staying in a role like this could affect my health long-term. Thank you for this reminder 🙏@@greenbeans575
“drinking the Koolaide…”🤣🤣🤣
You should work in an environment that will value you. There’s no winning in an environment in which you can’t offer honest input, so they may have done you a favor. Good luck with your job and soul searching! Doesn’t mean you have to abandon your area of expertise (unless YOU want to) - but maybe seek out a better fit in a different corporate culture. I can see why your You Tube is taking off - you are thoughtful, articulate, and well-spoken - so you are worth listening to. And of course, you are very easy on the eyes! In front of camera - gooood!
Thank you so much! 😘
I agree it was probably the universe telling you it was time to move on. You are young, intelligent and have a great ore about you. Your generation and the one behind you will face many job opportunities that will be fulfilling and rewarding in more ways than you know. They say you'll probably have 8-10 different jobs in your lifetime. Know that your are extremely marketable and positivity flows out of you. Take time to reflect and imagine the wonderful opportunities that await you. Enjoy the sun, enjoy your runs and perhaps reconnect with those close to you. By the way, love your new artwork.
Omg so sweet 🥹
Thank you for this! 🙏
You will find something that you want to do rather than have to do this time,what’s your dream?❤don’t let anyone belittle your for that dream because everyone wants their dreams so chase that dream and go for it ❤
🙏
@@KevenTalks your a beautiful 😍 man,I’d never let ya go if you were mine 😜❤️🌹😍💯 you deserve to make your own path with what you love and become your own work and person own your own life and then you won’t have anyone to do what you’ve gone through ❤️❤️❤️💫💫💫😙😙😙
They could have seen your TH-cam videos! You looking for another job could have been the straw that broke the camels back! I wish you the best no matter what you choose! Great vid!
I don't talk about my channel at work :)
It's not something I publicize (for reasons like this, lol)
@@KevenTalksRegardless somebody still could have seen.
I have never been fired but I have been disliked by bosses in the past and made to feel that I was not valued. My biggest piece of advice I can give you is NEVER let anyone make you feel like you are not good at your field of work. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. I've learned that I can be completely not valued at one company and go to a competitor in the exact same job and they love me. Often it's about the people and the culture and not you personally. My current company does not want to hear any of my opinions in terms of how things should change to make the company better and I am VERY opinionated, so I've learned to just shut up and collect the big pay check and focus my passions and efforts where I have more control and more of a voice in my own side hustles and business ventures outside of my corporate job. PS: I LOVE how you treat yourself to these amazing solo trips.
So true - thank you for this reminder! It's like families or partners almost - one may see all your faults while another will see all your value.
I’m sorry this happened to you… *hugs*
🙏🙏🙏
so interesting, thanks for the honesty ! everything you say i can empathize with. seems to me a very subtle form of discrimination of how/what you are - though nothing that could be proven in court. maybe sometimes the people doing the firing don't even realise their bias, and the fact that they're just venting some sort of deep down aggression which they hold for whatever reason. other employees for sure also do stuff that could be questioned, but they get off scot-free because they're perceived as mainstream, and people shut their eyes to that. the other part is about finding and living your purpose in life, for which you got all my support ! if you can fully live and broadcast the the energy that is within you, that of course is best, for you and the universe !
I 100% agree, and not to play the victim either, but because of what you said - it could even be unconscious bias. Conditioning is a powerful thing! Thank you for watching.
I say take your time and decide. I know for me I wanted a job with a better supervisor, higher salary, and wanted to explore other interest. So, essentially did baby steps. First was getting my second masters degree but in a subject that I was interested in. The second, only apply for jobs that I would actually be interested in regardless if there are aspects that similar to my old one. It took some time about a year or so, but accomplished both new job (yes, higher salary) and will graduate in August! I say you need a good support system and there is nothing wrong with taking chances in life :). Last, do not worry about age, there so many examples of people that are in mid and late careers that take different career paths, start businesses, get degrees etc.
Congrats on being very close to graduation! :)
Your a genuine, well spoken and honest person. You communicate rather eloquently. Rejection is protection. Don't take it personally. There is nothing wrong with you. The only problem is the controlling toxic corporate work environment. If the company has serious cash flow issues your ex new boss will probably follow you out the door in the not too distant future if he is not a magician. When things do go south companies always look to the employees first for blame to cut expenses. They have to rationalize the cuts.
This is the time for you to take inventory of all the good service you gave the company. Make a list of all the good qualities you embody. List the skills you feel are marketable. Focus on what your capable of doing and keep that mindset. It's the qualities of life we embody as individuals that make us worthy of good employment opportunities. You are obviously not in denial about your supposed mistakes otherwise you would not have brought them up in this video. That means you learn naturally from your mistakes because you're already looking at them. That's an admirable quality. Those of us that are a little too self conscious learn naturally from our mistakes. Consider that you now have the opportunity to find a better job with a better work environment that is more in alignment with your values. Keep posting content that your intuition tells you to post. Have a constructive, fun, journey into the unknown. I look forward to more of your refreshing honesty.
Thank you for this! Felt like listening to a therapist's advice 😁
From my experiences, most firings have to do with personality. Simply put it, someone higher up than you didn't like you for some reason. This person usually goes on a witch hint to find out anything bad about you to justify a termination. Sometimes you are the scapegoat for your boss. Your boss is under pressure and is worried about losing his or her job that they start blaming others for their wrongdoings or them incompetent and want to bite more time. Everytime I was fired, my boss who fired me was always fired shortly after. Keep your head held high and better opportunities will be knocking on your door. Yes. You're right. Being too honest is almost worse than stealing from the company. I tell my employers I can tell you what you want to hear or I can tell you the truth. After I say that, they're quiet for a bit.
"Scapegoat" is the right term, and it's a word that's been thrown around a lot actually by my former co-workers at this company. You hit the nail on the head.
Sorry to hear but you’re very talented and I’m sure things will work out ok for you. You continue being you and don’t change.
At 57, I have been in the exact same position as you for 3 decades of working in professional environments. If I could tell my 25 year old self anything, it would be do not sell out your honesty, beliefs, and moral compass for a paycheck - as Madonna says destiny will choose you in the end. I am quitting my 120K/yr job tomorrow morning which is hard to do in this economy amid layoffs and shrinking job openings but I have no choice. Getting fired is just BS anyway and the hetero/alpha that fired you, unfortunately exists in every company. Good luck to us both!
Thank you for that advice and best of luck to you with this new chapter of #funemployment! 😉
Keven, I wonder if anyone from your office saw your recent video about your lousy, horrible job interview. The minute I saw that video I thought, "If someone at his job sees this, they'll know he already has 2 feet out of the door and will fire him." I'm so sorry it actually happened. Boy, are they dumb! If you go back to school, what will be waiting for you at the end after school is finished? Another unstable corporate job? Yech. You're extremely smart, very personable, extremely -- maybe even hyper- -- attentive / aware, and very sensitive (which you can't be in the corporate world). I am too (I"m an empath like you which is why I can spot it a mile away). Miami, like LA and NY, is a difficult market in that, like the 2 other cities I mentioned, there's a lot of flash over substance (I was an exec in LA for 20 years at a major motion picture studio and I was constantly amazed and astounded that total idiots with almost no skills and little to no education made it to the top of the food chain for no apparent reason). If you want a constant reliable paycheck, then just do what they say. I remember having a grad student when I was an undergrad who thought that Ayatollah Khomeini was the greatest man in history. I had to write a paper for my final grade and spoke to my magical, wonderful grandmother about it. She told me, "Just parrot back whatever it is they want to hear." I protested that I didn't believe what the grad student grading the paper believed. My grandmother said, "Do you want to get an 'A' in that class?" I knew what she was saying and I wrote exactly what the grad student wanted to hear. I got an "A" in that class. Many years later, no one knows what I wrote. The only thing that remains is that *A" grade. A valuable lesson to take with me into the corporate world. "Tell them what they want to hear; keep your opinions to yourself unless you have someone in a high position who really wants the truth; swallow your own truth to achieve advancement and financial security (and then see a psychiatrist at least once a week)." Welcome to corporate America where mediocrity flourishes. 😮😢 On the one hand, you make a somewhat secure paycheck in corporate America. On the other hand, it is soul crushing. You should tell us what it is you do in social media exactly. For example, do you manage and design social media posts for third party commercial companies that have no in-house social media editor / poster? I could use that kind of service. You should let your 5k+ followers know in a bit more detail (but not too much detail) what you do. Perhaps your subscribers who know you and like you can help you. It can't hurt. Maybe you should move to a city that isn't fueled by caffeine, cocaine and (as much) nepotism as NY, LA and Miami. TRY CHICAGO! 😅 On a different subject, more bathtub and shirtless bed vlogs please, you absolutely GORGEOUS man!! 😁 If I was your boyfriend, I'd stare at those unbelievable eyes of ypurs and your yummy hairy chest all day long. ❤❤❤ Keep up the good work and the good fight, Keven!! We're all rooting for you, honey!! 😘🥰❤️
Thank you. I think you're right that I'll continue to have these pain points if I stick to conventional office jobs. The thing is, that's WHY I picked social media start-ups, but unfortunately it's all starting to follow those same old-school business models...
Good luck. You're only 32,sound like family support if needed. You will figure it out what is best or you. I just discovered you, and you are very handsome, nice voice, and pleasant demeanor being Turkish ,makes you a bit exotic. I just had a sonogram Tech, who was excellent. She told me there is one Turkish restaurant about 1 hr. away. Best wishes with finding a new job, and all your endeavors ,including here on YT.
I say follow the money but also do what you have some enjoyment doing. Passion doesn’t always pay the bills but it can supplement things. Quite a few people I worked with have left my employer to take on promotions or get a pay increase. Have you thought about whether you do better at larger / smaller companies? Can be a balancing act between being honest but going with the direction of the org. Maybe work for a place with values that align with yours. I always find my immediate boss makes a big difference in whether I feel good about my job or not. Good luck out there!
100% agreed on paying attention to a dynamic with the person who becomes your boss!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I like the way you approach life and you seem so intuitive about life and your livelihood. I like your approach and ability for deep thinking. You are ver interesting and intelligent and you will find something that you will love to do and will be perfect for you. Hang in there. I am definitely a fan and will continue to watch. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Tom! 🙏 💜
best fortune to you Keven. I believe very much in active prayer. I am a spiritual student, I try to understand why. I will pray for you that i this oppurtunity for you to make a new begining will place you with a team who ALL have collective shared values with you. I will ask that they be interesting people for you and that they encourage you to be interesting too. May you all together have wonderful experiences and all become richer people for the interactions you have together. I respect you, i respect your personal map. I wish that the points of intersection between the maps we both cross be a guide to you to find your way in the labyrinth. A torch for you to proctect you ad see clearly the path forward. Much love Keven.
🙏🙏🙏
Kev, it's been found that gay men are more intelligent than the average crowd. We usually see right through those that are bad at the job that they have. I had a boss who would deny saying something if it didn't work out. He could not be trusted. Another time, I quit a middle management position because I saw the future of this division from bad management, missing delivery dates and broken promises. Six months after I quit, this division closed and everyone was dismissed. I got into home improvement, then finally got work at a medical company in the shipping dept. Was there foe 15 years before I retired. So, Kevin don't go crazy about this job thing. There are plenty of positions out there. A lot of companies are offering training while on the job, so look into them. After a short time, going to college for these companies.
Kevin I believe in gut instinct go with your feelings you are still young my freind. Good luck
Good for you! Use this as an opportunity to change to something better!
🙏
I totally understand what you are going through but, the first thing you should have done is get your unemployment insurance started because you are entitled to get paid for the next 26 weeks. Relax, contemplate the future and then start a new. I wish you all the best, and everything will be alright, I promise.
Just filed for unemployment a few days ago, lol. Let's see how much the government assists 🫠
"Going to cost them an extra 20k'" - I certainly hope you paid them back!
lol I've paid them back in a child's love (?) 😬
Hello you are so ture in what you say. did you every think of Acting school. you would Be great at it. from pa. love the show. keep it comeing.
lol thank you. What does ture mean? Did you mean true?
yes true sorry with that going to fast. lol lol
HeyI just saw your NAUGHTY video! So..... not 100% spiritual ha!! Good on you!!😍😂😂😂
LOL isn't sexuality a part of spirituality? 😅
New subscriber, and I wish you the best! Good luck for your future, I am sure you'll do fine!
Thank you and welcome to my channel Patrick :)
Live and learn. So sorry about your termination. Few things are more difficult to swallow in life. The irony for me is I am a recovering addict/alcoholic. I was never fired the twenty years of using. In recovery, I was fired four times! lol. But the gift of recovery was I developed trust in a Power greater than myself, and I always, without exception moved on to something as good, or better. Stay strong; and learn from this difficult situation beautiful boy. Best.
Thank you for sharing this. It's funny how sometimes we thrive or excel in the chaos even though it may have long-term consequences.
I am so sorry Keven. I totally understand I had that experience some time ago. You have the right midset as you said you knew this may happen and they were honest with you and you recognize it for what it is. They cannot handle your honesty and it was a clash of personalities. You said you were looking to move on and do something else. The change is happening, but how you expected. I know and trust you will get a new job and start a new beginning elsewhere. Do not discouraged or upset. When you look back you will be thankful you are no longer at the company. I suspect this was planned as well. You are in a transition period and you will find your footing. It will work out in the end. Thimgs are already working out. You do not see the finish line yet, but you will soon. Stay focused. Stay determined. Find your new direction. You know your personality. Be encouraged.
🙏🙏🙏
Wouldn't it get great if you became HIS boss, eventually.
Omg 😆
Go to work for Falcon Studios.
LOL (and can't believe I understood that reference off the bat 🫠)
You look a bit like the prettier brother of Zach Ephron. I'm new to this channel so I just noticed that. I don't know why the algorithm got me here but I'll find out. Anyway wishing you the best.
Welcome Andre :)
Without wanting to sound mean or anything, I'm happy this happened, you sound like you were miserable in that place and it got worse with the car delaerhip guy... sometimes we're miserable or unhappy in a job and we feel like we should stay, just for safety. It's your chance to turn the page and find opportunities like maybe be self employed and start being a youtuber manager or something else you'd like. But to me you sound like you really were not your your place in that company. I was in a company before where I ended up feeling miserable too with time as things changed for the worse, it was boring and i was suffering a lot until the day they let me go along with a few others. looking back at it, it's was the best thing that happened to me. For sure, when it heppened I was scared and concerned about money, I had collected unemployment for 4 months, after my grieving was over, I started looking for a new job and boom, an amazing opportunity showed up and i dived into it. I did also noticed that your channel is groing, you're not at 1500 subscribers anymore like you were when i started watching you. You will find something that will make you happy, i'm sure, don't stress and brainstorm a little, ask yourself what would make you happy. Most importantly remember that the past is the past and you cannot change it, you can only create your present and your future. I sent you a little something in your paypal to cheer you up. Take care Keven, you'll get through this.😉
Thank you for sharing this!
YES - the channel has come a long way, and is still growing...the last few months have been really fantastic. Let's see what happens the rest of 2024! 🚀
I'm sorry, Keven. Sometimes, though, losses like this one become a win. At least, that's what I have discovered in my career. I wish you the best. (BTW, the Boeing whistleblower died, and the speculation is that he was murdered.)
Yes my friend told me this - that the employee allegedly committed suicide but there's mystery around it. Crazy story. Even if it at best, he took his own life (versus someone else taking it) - think about the damage there of someone feeling gaslit by that entire experience. Awful.
Babe, I'm sorry this happened to you. I see a real boss in you and I know this is gonna lead you to bright prospects on a new journey. You have to follow your heart and your conscience; that's great that you have a conscience because many do not, especially in business. You'll find what works for you and a team of higher ups who appreciate it, who don't want you to be a yes-man robot. It's kinda crazy how our lives run a lil parallel because I'm the same way at this j0b im at now and they also want everyone on the same page, despite so many things not making sense. They would rather everyone smile, put on an acting performance and pretend everything is all right. And my ultimate response is to keep looking for employment that enriches my soul cause I know this current gig is just a bill payer.
Thank you and yes -- that yes-man ideology is so bizarre to me. Pretending can only get you so far...
@@KevenTalks Yeah, I don't know why a company can't just have an open door policy but the human ego has never not been a poison to society.
Ugh, so true@@CiaraContent
Dude start an only fan u have the look❤✌️
LOL! 😆
I got let go once. The next week I got a job that I've been with for now 33 years. Astrology wise - this week - March 25th - we are entering an opportunity time to enter a new reality for ourselves. There is always a political game going on. You can't change the "game" but you can change how you respond to situations. ❤
Ohh what's with March 25th? Tell me more

Sirus Joy TV. Lunar Eclipse in Libra. It was posted on TH-cam a couple days ago. I don't live my life by astrology - I just listen to see what energies are available. Good luck in your next life chapter. 😀
Thanks for this context! I actually noticed a gorgeous full moon yesterday @@markanthony4207
I think you're right. All this is a sign that you need to simply stay away from corporate America. Lots of egos, B.S., politics. You'll probably be a LOT happier working for yourself.
100% but I tried going solo before, and despite feeling very liberated, I was always worrying about money. Let's see what happens this time around...
"The world doesn't show us what we want to see; it shows us what we need to see." -Marianne Williamson. All corporate jobs require both playing a high school level game and constant politics...I always thought it felt like being put into the street with a bunch of really coarse kids.
Well said 🙏
Great communicator. I have a great idea. There is an epidemic of loneliness in the US. Start a business of Just Friends speaking to lonely people.for cash. NOT CREEPY PEOPLE. $300. or more Per hour just being there. Start with 2 or 3 per week NOTING YOUR NOT A DOCTOR.
Isn't that kind of what I'm doing here, in a sense? ;)
I too was forced into early retirement from having played the role of truth teller. Exploit your network and strive to find a better fit. Reflect and write.
"Reflect and write" - love that. I brought a journal to DR but haven't opened it once! Other forms of therapy, though, have come in handy: beach strolls, swimming, these videos obviously...
Being the truth teller in almost all cases will eventually lead to a termination. For some reason, no one wants to hear or know the truth
Interesting view. My mom said something similar to me@@genew5758
Oh..i see u did start side hustle..yes...its the universe helping you out..go with it..the universe does not lead its children a stray..
🙏
Sounds like something you were Secretly Wanting .Now move forward and Enjoy your Holiday! Ps... Did you really expect to keep your job after you posted your Bad job interview??? I'd fire you also. No hate ❤
lol they had no idea about this channel! :)
I don't post my full name on social media, etc.
Corporate politics did you in. That is why most people get fired. You have to go along or get out. Not getting along with your boss will get you fired every time. Sorry to hear this happened to you, but move on. One door closes and another one opens. Good luck to you!
🙏
The universe can really turn your life into a crap show. I still haven't recovered from dropping out of school and quitting my job 8 years ago...I can't stand egomaniacal sleazy people either. If I have to tolerate additional personality bs aside from the actual work then the paycheck needs to reflect that.
Lol totally need to be paid extra per egomaniac at a company😅
Definitely speak your peace for the record. But as you can see from talking to insiders after you were let go, if you’re honorable and competent when have trouble with people like your ex boss, you’re typically not the only one who’s having a problem with that person. And if they are a real problem then they inevitably hang themselves. As I suspect this man will do.
It happened to me at work just two weeks ago. I don’t have a degree, but I went up a steep learning curve running a lab for more than a year because the actual manager had a lot of health problems. When she left this man was hired on and he haaaaated me. And he used to work for the company so he had a lot of credibility. I was supposed to get the lab but instead got shoved aside and functionally demoted. And I thought, “Okay. She’s all yours.” Not bitchy but ya know… I don’t have a degree so there ya go. So about a year later the lab is struggling and barely functional. So I had a long sit down with our project manager and outlined the plans I had for the lab. At one point I heard her gasp.
Next thing ya know… he’s gone.
Oh: and she was new when all this was going on so she just took his word for things. As we would all do in that situation.
Yes. My mindset with this particular situation is that I lost a battle, but I'll likely win the war long-term...relationships are everything and it's been fascinating to me to see all these people come my way since I got fired - both from the company and also just friends, previous co-workers from other companies who found out, you guys (!) etc. That support has been eye-opening.
Listen to your inner voice and follow your passions even if the finances aren't there just to see if it works out. You're still young and will recover from this time of uncertainty and the unknown. As your elder, there will never be a perfect job situation regardless if your self-employed or work for someone else.
When I was 28, I left a good government job due to major stress and relocated to a new city with limited savings. I had real broke moments and got the car repossessed and bad credit followed, but things eventually worked out in the long-term although stressful. Keep in mind there will be highs and lows of good and bad and moments or chapters of instability, but a good support system will also get you through particularly people who are good listeners and have your best interests in mind. I feel more secure when I have good people I can vent to to get me through.
If I get fired any time soon, will do what you did and book a trip to a desirable destination to hit the reset button and reflect and think of the next chapter. And remember, there's always Only Fans or a sugar daddy 😂😂😂😂😂😂 (just kidding). You need a good laugh t temporarily get your mind off of the situation.
Good luck!
@@KevenTalks Between this and your bad interview it looks to me like you’re making the right sort of enemies. It’s like people who are instantly liked by children and dogs. You know you can relax around them.
Thank you for this 🙏
I agree with you on thriving when I feel supported by those around me (friends, family, colleagues, etc)@@clarenceskip
Carly Simon sang a song that reminded me of you when I saw your post. The song is “You’re So Vain”. Have you heard it??😂😂
I know you are smart enough to know that your looks and intelligence inspire a lot of jealousy.
Oh please, that's not why I got let go lol
@@KevenTalks I am sure but believe me jealousy can play a role.Good luck in your job search and have fun in the DR!😘
Beautiful Stunning eyes 👀, adorable expressive face, a Really Nice pleasant face. You should be in movies 🎥, you have a gorgeous face for the big screen. I'm sorry you were Let go from your job, but whenever a door closes, somewhere the window of opportunity opens up, just look for the open window, Bright Eyes... :-)
Thank you! 🙏
Yes, it is always smart to spend money on a vacation when you just got fired.
He's entitled to take a breath and get back on track. Keep your snarky comments to yourself.
You seem like you should be working for yourself
A few others said the same below. I agree - in theory - but I tried that a few years ago and it was TOUGH. I felt so free, and had so much free time BUT I was worrying about money literally every day. It was an awful mindset to live with.
Your new boss was looking to make his mark on the company. You were an easy mark because you didn’t get along with him. You can do better. I don’t know where you live but I’m sure you can find some other work with more congenial people. I don’t know if you are out to your coworkers or not. Don’t be too anxious to give them information that’s none of their business. I would guess you are around 30. You have a gorgeous face. Movie star gorgeous. Keep it up and some day it might keep you going. Good luck in finding a new job. If you aren’t sure what type of work you want just get a temporary job to keep food on the table.
Thank you!
Ok so he sounds like a mole narcisit...that is planning to bring it down to where it has to merge with the compeitor that put him there..get aquired
Then the whole management gets replaced
Welcome to the real world
But are you rich???
No lol but I have some savings
Your mother is 100 % correct. I have been in your shoes and felt I was doing a very good job but wasn't shy about being honest. You will need to decide that it's just a job and not rock the boat. Do a good job, and dont complain to anyone at work. It's obvious they don't want to hear it. Guess what the majority of people you work with fell the same way you do but keep it to themselves! Put on your big boy pants and stop winning. Your very handsome, intelligent but need a little reality check.
Many get fired. Don't worry. It's common. Apply for unemployment.
So a guy whose parents paid his college education - where he got fired and lost 20K in housing for throwing a kegger decides to fly to a Caribbean resort (after being fired again) to vent on how the corporate world cannot understand how wrong it is for taking his feedback because he, of course, knows everything - well was given everything. If you are always told you are right (snow plow parents?) and you are punished for being too honest it may be some time to have a slice of humble pie.
That's a lot of assumptions. College was a decade ago for me. I've been working full-time since, hence the ability to afford a vacation after I got fired. What exactly are you upset about? This is a video about me trying to process what just happened and how I got here. I don't have all the answers by any means.
I just happened to stop by for the first time. Hi. Okay, first, you look great. Second, make the damn bed. Why? Because you are filming it! That means best foot forward. However, not the end of the world. Third, I’m glad you got what you wanted by being fired. Sounds like the right thing happened considering your bitching about it. Lastly, people in companies don’t want a know-it-alls opinion (not meaning that’s you BTW…I mean anybody). Head down, punch the time clock in and out, go home, repeat…for decades… Your not the only one and you are not alone. Enjoy the vay cay!
