That sucks man. I went through something similar, though not quite to that extent, so I know how helpless it makes you feel. Sorry you had to go through it, but hopefully the pipe helps to ease the burden.
I’m so sorry man. I was just diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease myself. I’m trying to come to terms that I have an incurable illness. Smoking is one of the only things getting me through this but it makes the disease worse in the long term, and I’m trying to deal with thousands in medical bills during Christmas. You have such a wonderful perspective! It’s inspiring to me. I’m smoking some Gentleman caller before I buy my daughter some presents. Best of luck to you! This is my first video I’ve watched and I’m going to watch more!
So sorry to hear that. I have two good friends with Crohn’s, so I’m familiar with just how shitty it can be (no pun intended). I hope you’re able to find a balance that works for you and your health.
@@amanrelaxes Thanks man! So far my health is improving. My plan is to just see how the next year goes, and if it gets worse, I'll give up the pipe smoking. For now, it's keeping me sane! At least I still have my guitar hahaha. That helps too. I watched your Pegasus video today too. I LOVE that blend. I'm glad you like it too! Sometimes, life throws really hard stuff at us it seems, but then that opens the way for better things. I was in a marriage that was awful, and it was super painful when it came to an end. In the end, though, I'm in a much better place now. I hope the best for you and your burgeoning business!
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you enter into this new chapter of your life. It sounds like you have a great attitude about it. May God bless you and give you wisdom…
Sorry to hear about your layoff. That’s hard news to take. Sounds like a new path is ahead of you and that you’re ready to take it on. Glad to see you’re smiling still and taking a moment to relax. All the best as you move forward.
I feel this man. I got hit with almost the same deal a month ago. I was a forklift operator at a reputable manufacturing facility. Now I'm a Donation Attendant at Goodwill, and getting paid 3 times less. I'm almost convinced we live in a spiritual prison. One that constantly surveils us, and throws hardship at is when we do too well, for too long.
My friend, I just subscribed to your channel. I'm sorry for what has been done to you. I can relate, as I have, on a couple of occasions, had a very similar thing happen. I can say that, although at the time it seemed like the end of the world, in the end it was a great gift which removed me from some very dysfunctional and toxic environments and created space for me to relax and move into very good things for my best health- both mentally and physically. I wish you all the best, and I pray you might find many wonderful blessings in the road ahead.
Man I am so sorry. This is my first time I have watched and watched the entire video! I will being pray for you to get a great job and look forward to an update the new job.
I'm sorry to hear your news. That doesn't sound like a company with a game plan or a people-centred approach, so I'm sure you'll be much better off in the long run. Stay positive, and don't let them affect your confidence - people are more than the roles they occupy whilst working for someone else.
Man, that sucks! “Merry Christmas, You’re laid off.” I hope that you can find something else soon, or get your business up to full speed soon. Take Care :)
Pretty underhanded. I would have raised my hand and asked..."Can we expect any severance pay at all?" You know, make it as awkward as possible. Sorry to hear this, buddy... 8:55
Thanks, man. It's a weird excuse, but this is why I haven't written back yet. I've been putting as much time and energy as I can into my business. But you've got one coming soon!
Sorry to hear about the layoff my brother. Been there before myself but it may just be the exact moment in time that you needed this to get your business off the ground and soaring. My family and I will keep you in our prayers that this will all work out.
Hola hombre, pareces inteligente y perseverante, conseguirás lo que te propongas, sin duda. También se te aprecia, sin importar las pertenencias caras que tengas. Siempre hacia adelante, sabes cómo se hace. Un abrazo.
Gracias, amigo. Tus palabras significan mucho para mí. La vida no se trata de cosas materiales, sino de avanzar con propósito y determinación. Te deseo lo mejor también. ¡Un abrazo fuerte!
Sending love brother. You are not a statistic and you are human. I’m sorry, but it sounds like you are very qualified! You’ve got this, I believe in you and will pray for your success!
Sucks. Definitely relax and try to enjoy the holidays. Couple of things: 1) hit the new year running, 2) Looking for a job is a full-time job, treat it as such, 3) when you have networking/interview calls or videos, your inner feelings can be heard and/or seen on video, 4) if you don't have a detailed budget, now is the time to review all expenses and create one. Ensure you exercise, if you aren't currently. Strength to you!
I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Corporate greed has been on the rise since last year. You'll find something, you're a talented guy. Your channel is also top notch. You've got this.
I have been through some rough patches as well sir. One thing that stands true is when one door closes another door opens! Keep your head up and keep on going 👍
That sucks, man. Calling a meeting to lay you off by sock-puppeting the email of your manager they already laid off is wicked sketchy. Best of luck to you.
Sorry about your news! Sad the CEO did what he did. I hope you find a co. to work for t hat cares more for it's workers. Your outlook of being able to get stuff done will go a long way toward carrying you through this time in your journey. Glad you are going to smoke an English. If I were you and you have something resembling, for you, a unicorn English I would smoke it. you certainly deserve it! Happy puffing !!!
Hi Robert. I'm sorry to hear this news, brother. Do you have any ideas? Any options? Are you wanting to stay in the same field, or are you willing to jump ship and try something new, something different? The entire job force is shifting, especially with all of the new artifical intelligence that is being incorporated into most every aspect of our lives. That's a scary thing. So many jobs are being replaced with A.I. these days. However, here's an idea worth considering. My industry is probably one of the few industries that will NEVER be affected by the A.I. thing. However, my industry is NOT for everyone. I work in the funeral industry. I started in this industry in 1983. It's not for everyone. I'd say, probably less than 10% of the entire population is comfortable working with the dead. But it's something to consider. Everyone dies. That's job security. I haven't missed a paycheck in 41 years. Artificial intelligence will NEVER remove the need for one-on-one human contact in this line of work. Being there for people when tragedy strikes, and offering them comfort when they are at the lowest time in their lives is a greatly fulfilling career. It's something to think about. I'm sure there are funeral homes in your area. Give them a call and see what they have to say. It might be the answer for which you're looking. Mark
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful suggestion! As I mentioned in the video, I’m focusing on building my business. I am offering SAT tutoring and courses/materials. It’s a lot of work, but I’m optimistic about where it’s headed. Your industry suggestion is fascinating-what a meaningful career path you’ve had. Thanks for sharing your perspective and encouragement-it means a lot!
@amanrelaxes You're very welcome. Yeah, I knew about your business plans but wasn't aware it was doing so well already. My suggestion was to offer you temporary employment till your business was self sustainable. But it's all good. I am positive you'll be ok. It is stressful being married and raising a family; a LOT of responsibility on your shoulders, Robert. But you got this! I believe in you!
Sounds like your company was in serious financial trouble. A company cannot survive without sales. However, being your own boss if you have a network can work well. You Will need hard work and a touch of luck. Your finest moment will be when your old company shutters and you are a booming success.
Feel very sorry for you, maybe it will force you to do your own business, and that my friend is the best thing will ever happen to you, wish you all the best my friend, may I ask you what type name of this pipe, best and thank you
That sucks man. I went through something similar, though not quite to that extent, so I know how helpless it makes you feel. Sorry you had to go through it, but hopefully the pipe helps to ease the burden.
That it does; thank you!

Sorry about the news man. You know I'm here for anything I can do.
Thanks, man. And I appreciate what you've done.
Sorry to hear that, sir. May God give you the strength and open eyes for new opportunities.
Thank you!
terribly sorry for your layoff... especially during this time of the year... best wishes, good luck and health to you and your family!
Thank you; I appreciate it.

I'm almost convinced we live in a spiritual prison. One that constantly surveils us, and throws hardship at is when we do too well, for too long.
A spiritual prison, huh? Here's to you and me both digging a secret tunnel out of there.
@amanrelaxes I'm just glad you've been optimistic about your business start up. Hope you make it happen
My friend, I just subscribed to your channel.

No more jobs for me. Thanks.
So sorry to hear it, brother. Hang in there. See this as an opportunity and stepping stone to finding something better.
Thank you. I certainly will.
Sorry to hear that news. Unfortunately this is going around a lot! My company is on their fourth round of layoffs. Glad you are positive!
Yeah, I've heard this is happening all over in different industries. Makes me feel a bit less alone.
I'm sorry to hear your news. That doesn't sound like a company with a game plan or a people-centred approach, so I'm sure you'll be much better off in the long run. Stay positive, and don't let them affect your confidence - people are more than the roles they occupy whilst working for someone else.
Thanks so much. I'll try to remember that.
Your attitude is great! Looking forward to hearing more about the growth of your business. ❤
Thank you! Will do!
Hopefully the new business take off quickly. Pipe On
💪
Sorry for the bad news,best wishes for the future
Thanks
Man, that sucks! “Merry Christmas, You’re laid off.” I hope that you can find something else soon, or get your business up to full speed soon. Take Care :)
Right? Thanks.
Pretty underhanded. I would have raised my hand and asked..."Can we expect any severance pay at all?" You know, make it as awkward as possible. Sorry to hear this, buddy... 8:55

@@amanrelaxes Please, Rob...getting your metaphorical ducks in a row takes way more precedence.
That sounds a lot like the company I used to work for! Praying for Gods will and guidance in these trial some times.
I appreciate that.
Another insight into why the Western world is collapsing. Best wishes and I hope you find a better opportunity soon mate - cheers from Australia.
Thank you!
Sorry to hear about the layoff my brother. Been there before myself but it may just be the exact moment in time that you needed this to get your business off the ground and soaring. My family and I will keep you in our prayers that this will all work out.
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much.
Oh man, I've been there a few times. I know how you feel. Praying that another opportunity will open up for you quickly.
Thank you! I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.
It is always a stressful situation but every time iv seen it happen it ends up being for the better of the person.
FWIW Iowa is where it’s at 🤘
I appreciate it. One of my good buddies lives out there.
So sorry to hear your bad news. I hope you find work fast. Maybe there is something better in the works.
I'm working on it.
I have been through some rough patches as well sir. One thing that stands true is when one door closes another door opens! Keep your head up and keep on going 👍
I appreciate it.
I’m so sorry, man. But being away from that will ultimately, hopefully, be better for you.
Thanks. I feel that way as well. Already feeling lighter inside.
That sucks, man. Calling a meeting to lay you off by sock-puppeting the email of your manager they already laid off is wicked sketchy. Best of luck to you.
Yeah, it was nuts. Thank you.
So sorry to hear that. Everything happens for a reason, maybe this was a way to push you to do your own thing and start your own business
💪
I’m late to view and don’t have any words of wisdom other commenters haven’t already said. Just sorry to hear it, especially this time of year.
Thanks-I appreciate it.
Sorry about your news! Sad the CEO did what he did. I hope you find a co. to work for t hat cares more for it's workers. Your outlook of being able to get stuff done will go a long way toward carrying you through this time in your journey.
Glad you are going to smoke an English. If I were you and you have something resembling, for you, a unicorn English I would smoke it.
you certainly deserve it!
Happy puffing !!!
Thank so much. I think I'll save any unicorns or special tins for when I've replaced my income and have something to celebrate.
Oh, and you’re welcome.

Yeah, for real! lol.

I've got the hard work down-now for my Irish heritage to kick in ...
Feel very sorry for you, maybe it will force you to do your own business, and that my friend is the best thing will ever happen to you, wish you all the best my friend, may I ask you what type name of this pipe, best and thank you
I hope so!
Sounds like u worked for some scummy people. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.
I hope so. It feels like things are going well, but they need to go well FASTER. lol.
