@@rreagan007 I definitely agree, but she is working at this point in the game for the money, not for career fulfillment. It's a j.o.b. She's fulfilled from her hobbies.

Everybody keeps saying find another job, there's so many places hiring. I've been looking at changing jobs and all the places claiming to be hiring aren't paying much, don't offer any benefits or full time. Just cause these companies are hiring doesn't mean they are good jobs.
They laid you off, not fired - difference is you can use them as a reference and who is at fault (laid off is their restructuring or their fault, fired means your fault).
yeah often - restructure is a way to easily let people go that you can’t fire. Well atleast in NZ. In saying that if they re-structure and let somebody go they can’t re-create the position and hire somebody else they must off that job back back to the person that got let go. Saying that there could be other legal things the company has to do as well
@@alp.9672 I have found it very true if we are talking a company itself. All a company can legally say is dates of employment. Now personal references are different story and even any half smart person would never use someone that would say bad things about you. Companies know that so it's rarely that important to the process.
@@johniii8147 all I’m saying is you can’t say few companies do that these days. it is going to vary with the job/industry but it is for sure still a practice.
Her job field is Information Organization, or Document Management, or Document Digitization. Check out hospitals records digitization or management management positions.
High tech loves diverse background, Laura. Go for it! The video also shows why reskilling/upskilling yourself and having a solid network are two most important things in one's career.
I would suggest she seek a job at a big Bank doing some sort of customer support or document management. She sounds like she would have a great temperament for that kind of work. They’d be lucky to get her.
What ever happened to the words "laid off"? When I was young you only got "Fired" if you did something wrong. If they didn't need you or didn't want you, you were "laid off". Seems to me this gal was simply laid off.
@@jrwntctv8091 I am 87, in my day it was just a simple Laid Off., there was no shame to it. Fired, was a bad thing. In fact, if you were fired you received no unemployment benefits.
How can you compare losing a job is like losing a loved one, there is zero comparison. You can get another job, you can't get your loved one back. That is the most idiotic statement i have ever heard.
She definitely sounds like outdated tech skills. She will need to work on that. I am in a tech field and am having trouble keeping up. Tech is changing very rapidly.
I’m so sorry to hear that! Typical people controlling other people’s lives! Honey your too old to be bossed around try to find confidence and start your own business like vlogging or something. Adopt that dog and vlog the visits to the ptsd folks trust me lots of people would love to support your channel! Get out of the corporate world! Bye cya have a good one corporate life! You can do it Laura! Don’t go back to high tech company that’s the past it always repeats itself you will never get to the top getting fired all the time.

Guys, she's 57. She's not on a deep soul searching career path. Just looking to pay the bills. Hopefuly she can retire in another 10 years.
Retirement isn't going to be good to her. It sounds like she has no money saved up. If she did she wouldn't need to find a job at 57.
@@rreagan007 I definitely agree, but she is working at this point in the game for the money, not for career fulfillment. It's a j.o.b. She's fulfilled from her hobbies.
Her hobbies are going to bankrupt her and leave her as a Walmart greeter at 80.
Most times is the best thing when you loose job. I know it does not seem like it. When one door closes, another opens.

still hiring tho
Work two jobs.
Just take something and work lots of hours
Word
It’s easier to get a job when you have a job. 🤷♂️

Few companies use references these days.

worked all through the pandemic.... then fired ....while lazy bums were on their couch for two years

Yeah and that’s a dying field. I’m a programmer and I make data entry and document storage automation tools.
People need to prepare for the future
Just call it what it really is. She's a secretary.
Get out there and start networking.
High tech loves diverse background, Laura. Go for it!

He’s basically a motivational speaker. Hopefully she got a great job by now.

Apply for Unemployment and search for another job.
Grieve the loss first. Take a couple days off and decide what you want to do then.

Laura, you are worth more than your job, their loss! I mean it. They did you a favor, I’ve been there. NEXT and I love your heart ♥️
I just fired my boss
How?
Are you a board member or something?
Actually i think this is a call to commit arson.
@@charlesyoung9980 simple minds lol 😆
That is so true! Pulling past into future constantly is bad.
Honestly, she sounds awesome.
In the same boat as of monday really needed to hear this
@ᴘɪɴɴᴇᴅʙʏ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴀᴍsᴇʏ Bro I'm a guy
what a bad spot we are in. overcome people.
Find a new one, enjoy life, but dont hold your breath again.
Another strong and independent woman and she is already looking to get a dog, you go girl.
How can you compare losing a job is like losing a loved one, there is zero comparison. You can get another job, you can't get your loved one back. That is the most idiotic statement i have ever heard.
It’s more like a break up than a death, usually.
Now is the greatest time to need a job, go find one, there are tons out there.
Dr. John is such a cool dude!
They got rid of her, because of her age, I'll bet most of the people they " cleared house on" were all over 50
I don’t doubt it.
She definitely sounds like outdated tech skills. She will need to work on that. I am in a tech field and am having trouble keeping up. Tech is changing very rapidly.
It sounds like she was a glorified secretary, not actually doing anything technological.
Use this incredible time to get out of Portland as FAST as you can.
Unfortunately this lady sounds a bit older so it may be harder for her to find another job competing against the younger crowd.
Not really. There’s 80 year olds working at my local grocery store. Minimum wage. But a job.
God bless you. Wishing you the best!
Logistics ?! A bus garage or trucking company? Amazon?! Delivering product takes more back office logistics than retail nowadays.
Her job wasn’t necessary, it was non-essential.
Worked in a court for years. Document imaging is most certainly an essential position.
They definitely fired her for the amount of times she said ect
Etc
I fear age discrminiation, I'm getting gray hair.
The host thinking is to embrace all the gray hair and go forward!!!
You can always color it. That's an easy thing to handel.
🎸This GUY Rocks🎉
Use your emergency fund wisely and look for another job

When she said Portland, it broke my heart
It sucks here, except the food scene is okay if you can afford it
Awesome advice
I pray for u Laura
"Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice
"Pull down your pants and slide on the ice!"
Take up drinking
You gotta lay it down to take it up first
Buy a yacht take out the GPS and let them chase you around the world to pay for it
Where’s Dave and Ken Coleman
Buying buildings for all cash.
There are nine million open jobs right now - find another job?
Portland sucks. Not a lot of high paying jobs, compared to WA or CA.
Dear Laura, color your hair and look 47 ....Listing to someone older than you, me! You are amazing!
As a fellow Oregonian, my advice would be to get out of Portland!
Why do you say that? I was thinking I would try to move to Portland area when I graduate.
@@chelsea7229 it's one of the fastest declining cities in the nation.
Agree! Portland is not the place to move to. I'm an Oregonian, too (I stay as far away from Portland as possible).
Collect unemployment before working at a coffee shop
Good for you Laura! Congratulations.Get on the public dole and enjoy life!!!
Yeah, that's pretty much non existant in the US. Unless you're cool with living at poverty level.
Simple answer: find a new job
Not as easy finding as job as the media will have you believe. She also is age 57. I’m not talking about food service and retail either.
Easy. Get a new one.
where is the link to the Paycheck to Purpose guide?
Its a blessing hun
Push the restart button
If you have time to call the show, you definitely have time to update your resumé and start handing that out like pancakes at IHOP
Yeah there are so many opportunities out there.... she can start a cleaning buisness or something
It is clearly a confidence issue. She also sounds overwhelmed. She sounds like she needed a pep talk.
Live on your emergency fund until you find work………oh, you don’t have one? Better read Dave’s book and start following the baby steps! IMO
This woman sounds like she thinks the world revolves around her... no wonder they fired her.
Why do they let these calls just ramble and ramble and ramble on forevah
More Dr. Platitude nothingness
She has experience, she can be hired.
Easier said than done ageism is horrible worse for women than men, will never be the same ,good luck luck we all have to keep the lights on,!
Apply for unemployment..then take a vacation
Hang in there god bless
