- I MET THE DEMISE OF MY JOB!
The day finally arrived. May 24, 2024, marks my last day at my job. After about 5 years. (4 yrs and 9 months) Originally, my layoff was going to be on February. But I had been asked to extend it til May! I felt very honored to take it! Gave me plenty more time to get myself ready! I'm just glad we got a very well advanced warning. Because I seen alot of stories of people who get laid off or fired abruptly!
My basic initial thoughts I have about today. is "wow". it's crazy to think that I will not be going back to work there anymore! And ultimately, feel HAPPY, IM GOING TO BE OFF FOR LIKE 2 MONTHS! I LOVE IT!!
Congratulations on leaving the 9-5. You have an amazing opportunity with this TH-cam channel as you already have millions of views. You just need to find a way to maximize the channel. Seek out people who have done it already and just do what they did. Once you maximize the channel, you’ll probably kick yourself for not doing it sooner. Good luck!
Hi Gilbert, these next 2 months are when you go all in your TH-cam channel. This is your chance to become a full-time TH-camr & you'll never have to go back to work for good. I know you can do it. I wanna see you win. Much love Gil & wish you the best
Yeeeshhh!
Indeed ❤

YAY!
He doesn't have enough interesting content or ideas to be a full time TH-camr. I enjoyed some of the 80s/90s videos (which is how I found the channel) and although some held my interest at the start, they became very samey after a while. Unfortunately the 'day to day' vlogs are uninteresting to someone like me, so I no longer watch them. It's basically a guy walking around his house, filming himself and talking about mundane topics... Or him going to various stores and watching his wife and kids spend all his money! If you like that sort of thing, great. But it's not for me and you can't expect him to go full time unless he is able to appeal to more people.
Been watching your channel for years. You have been such a treasure, a connection to my past. I hope you take this as an opportunity to move forward. God bless you man.
Good luck Gilbert. Things will work out
There are plenty of other jobs out there

Losing your job can feel like a major setback, but it's also an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
Take this time to reconnect with yourself and explore new possibilities. Reflect on your strengths, passions, and values.
It's a good way to take a different perspective on your life.
Speaking from experience, I've had a varied career spanning three decades, filled with ups and downs.
horse shit
he can take all kinds of recreational drugs now.
You have a great home, great family, jobs come and go. My dad got layed off months ago and found something recently that he ended up enjoying much more. So there's always an upside to down times.
For some reason I started thinking about the 90's and the day you showed us your N64 gaming console.
One door closes, and another door opens wide...
Exactly
and a guy with a knife is in the open door way and makes you satisfy him under threat of violence. That was dumb. Lock the door.
I like the way you think
Gilbert is so smart. You can learn a lot from him. That’s why I like watching his videos.
What are some of the thing’s you have learned from him? I’m genuinely curious.
I have learned to realize to treasure life the way he does.. and no shame in it. His approach is very straightforward and easy to follow. Relatable and brings people together. I've learned not take shame in such an approach.@@DeeOne88
Better things are coming Gilby…
Hi gus gus
I have been living frugally for the past 11 years, only buying things that I need and purchasing used items. I own everything and have no recurring payments. These days, job security is not guaranteed, and anyone can lose their job. If I were to lose my job, I could live for 7 years without earning a penny. I plan to continue living frugally because I am always afraid that I may lose my job one day. I am still young and know that I could find a job quite easily now, but as everyone gets older, it becomes harder to find jobs. The scariest thing that could happen to me would be losing my job. I hope you can find a job soon and not have to worry about your bills.
This video and comment had inspired me to live frugally myself. Times are so unsettling and I rather have a safety net.
Salute from Palm Springs Ca
you truely are smart to just let the Lord to guide you. you "remembered the Lord in the days of your youth" and now it's paying off. your mom put that in your birthday card, in old video, very smart.
Everything happens for a reason. Please take care of yourself Gill cause people love and depend on you. 🙏
I’m sorry Gil, praying things work for the best for you!
I feel ya.
I have a YT channel, but I'll never be a youtuber.
I quit a 28/hr job late Oct 2023 to move back to my Iowa hometown.
Currently working at 18/hr.
The paycut was well worth it!
Take advantage of unemployment (EDD)! That is money you worked for and you’re 100% entitled to it. I was laid from my previous employer in the summer of 2022 and was blessed to able to find a new position within two months. You’ll find something quick Gil. It could be something you love. But definitely look into building your channel! You’ve got something good on here and can make a living off. God bless
Hope you’re doing well!
More and longer videos Mr Gill please
You shouldn't be waiting until the severance package runs out. You need to start looking for another job because you never know when you'll find one. It could take months until you secure a position.
Best of luck Gil.
Enjoy your extra time and keep doing your thing bud. 👊
Hey Gilbert....you're like your cat, you always land on your feet! I've been watching your videos, that's how I know you'll do okay! You're one of the most resourceful people I know! I like your videos because they show real life, not all that social media crap!
I quit my job because of they were treating me poorly I say go for it full time TH-cam that what I am doing what u got too lose
Stay positive Gil. You'll be alright.
I’ve heard Costco is a great place to work. Maybe look into working there!
Gil, wishing you the best. I hope you get your TH-cam channel going and are even more successful there. 🙏
Enjoy your time with your fam. Time is more precious than work. 🤙
What I say!
Goodspeed Gilbert!I too have appreciated and enjoyed your channel like many have. Many have stated to do this TH-cam thing fulltime, I’d say go for it. We will all watch!
Gil create some "im telling you" merch! Id love to buy some
I never worked in a 9-5 job,started my private tutoring after college graduation from this year and I am happy with it :) i tutor my neighbour's grandson.Guess what my new student lives in the same apartment as I,he's on 3rd floor while I on the 5th floor.
Though this is not the first time i am home tutoring,had previously tutored another neighbour's grandchild (all grandchildren coming my way 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂).
You’re awesome Gilly keep your head up you always find a way to strive forward . Love to your mom and siblings , thanks for your uploads
Greetings Gilbert!
Today is a new beginning.
Wishing you nothing but the very best going forward. Your positive attitude and great work ethic will get you far. Take care buddy. 💪 🚀 ⭐️
I remember ya!!
I wish you good luck and success. Me personally I'd start looking for a new job after a month or so instead of two. Unless the spouse's income covers every single expense. Hate the idea of drawing from savings to to pay for expenses, at this point in my life I consider savings part of my future retirement
I'm so sorry dear great Gil! I'm happy you got the extension, indeed good time for planning ahead. I hope you relax in these 2 months and to focus on the channel more. This is a blessing in disguise, on to bigger and better things, as you deserve it!!
He OUT OF WORK AND IMMEDIATELY starts eating up EVERYTHING🤣🤣🤣
The Bounce-Back is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! Watch and See....
Well he seems fit so he can eat as much as he wants until he becomes fat but at that age if you havent become fat or obese you ll probably stay at that weight until your passing.
There’s lots of lay offs going on in our company too, this month they laid off almost 25 people, our manager told us there was going to be more, I’m in Carlsbad CA btw (near San Diego)
I wouldn't take any time off and would stay focused on having a job, wife's hate taking care of the husband. Especially if they want to see them as a provider. I would say get motivated and get back out there! Have a great day!
Ditto!! I swear, the last time I was slow on work, my wife damn near left me and then filled out an application for the job I still have 11 years later (she's still around) haha
And she didnt' blame me not having a steady job but that's when she noticed all the other shit she didn't like about me at the time.. lol
You're a simp. Quit giving advice.
You're a weak person. Crazy how you freely admit that you have zero backbone.
I disagree. People work 40+ hours a week, 5-6 days a week for 50+ years and maybe retire by 69 years old are lucky to get 2 weeks off per year. If you can get a 2 month break in there then take advantage of it. A wife shouldn’t have an issue with that.
Yo Gilbert as a man who's just a few years younger & been unemployed for over 6 months there's age discrimination. everyone says there hiring bu there not in reality there looking for younger people. Don't wait too long in looking & don't sell your cars you'll never know when one goes out its good to have back up. Keep trucking brother
I did hear about the age thing. I have to get ready for it myself. Hopefully I can make enough blogging on TH-cam now that I have time.
Gilbert go for it you can do it everybody likes the stuff you put on TH-cam
Makde me really happy to hear you're going to do even more YT, really enjoy your videos!
Play video games or get in a new hobby. I worked hardcore job for 5 years and had to go on disability. Hardest part isn’t the money as family always helps out because they don’t want you to loose the home. I got diagnosed with Parkinson’s and now met my gf who also has Parkinson’s. I’m 34 she’s in her 60’s. God has a plan ❤ my body’s getting old yet my mind is young. I’ll be watching Gil! God bless! ❤
My uncles got Alzheimer's from statins,and the 🎯 l have been giving them goat milk and using essential oils,l wonder if that will help Parkinson's
Good luck to you and hope you get back on your feet quickly. Would suggest looking at county or state jobs for CalPERs
Hi Gilbert, take some time off, reset and def collect the unemployment on top of what you're getting paid for the 2 months. Don't leave that money on the table. You will also see that another door/opportunity will open up when you least expect it!
I got laid off back in January. Found a job fast. I have been with the company for 7 years. Went in on the 17th and handed in my final checks. I found a job really fast.
One must always position himself to have lateral movement in life. People who get screwed over being fired did a bad job at ensuring lateral movement in life.
Hey gillie there's this mc guides plastic restore for headlights that would make ur cars headlights look like new with a fiber cloth.
Good luck Gilbert.
Put your feet up Gil, let the missus take care of the bills for a while.
Airlines are hiring Gil…you’ve got an airport near you? I’ve had a steady uninterrupted paycheck for the last 36 years working at the airport.
I know you will do good,I remember when you first got that job,at least your wife makes good money,here in my part of Georgia any vehicles 25 years or older don't have to have emissions, but the next door county next to me does not have to get emissions at all.
It's very upsetting that the stupid California law still requires a 40 year old car to pass smog.
Hi Gilby! I hope you get to sleep in! Do you have any new 80s stuff we never saw before? any new 90s stuff?
I have a few. 😆
It is the test of 🙏 one's to recognize that your strength of faith is well inside you and not forgotten ... you've gotten this far in life you must not forget this.. A wise man had once said when one comes to the last page, it is then you close the book.. and you pick up another book and continue your chapter because life keeps moving ... you must rely on your faith 🙏 the two important days of one's life are the day you were born. And the day you find out why....( . philosopher )

Hi jetKnight!
When one door closes , another opens. Look around and you might find your dream job.
HE LOOKS CONCERNED AND SCARED
I should visit you while you're off in the next 2 months. Since you're wanting to try something with work related, maybe you should work at Harbor Freight, Autozone, orielys, or any tool shop with car related since you have decades of experience.
Hi Steven!!
Thats scary especially as expensive it is in California
Over 4k views?this goes to show how a youtubers title can bring in the views!!
I think the situation too. 😆
rooting for you. i drive forklift too the standing up one. Its alright but does get boring.
Hey Gil. Do you see any similarities of today’s economy to the economy of 2008 as far as unemployment? Thanks Gil stay strong 💪
Yes to full time TH-cam!!!
If you good with cars you can apply at auto part stores
Will you be able to do a Memorial Day episode?
I got let go last May 2023. Haven't found another job since then. This economy is way worse than what CNN says it is, that's why I don't watch cable news anymore. This is the worst president in my lifetime, and he's doing this on purpose. All I can afford right now is 2 dollars, but hopefully you won't be unemployed for a year like me, good luck!
I'm doing great. You must not have value in society.
a year with no job but a lifetime with no job skills...but blame Biden.
Just like 2008
Thanks for your gift. I totally wonder what's going to be of my situation going onto the next several months.
GILBERT. DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE SINCERITY, HONESTY, AND INVALUABLE PRESCIOUS FOOTAGE ON YOUR CHANNEL PUTS YOU JUST A FEW PRODUCTION TWEEKS FROM BIG TIME TH-cam SUCCESS???
what was your job Gil?
Look at the kitty 🐱🐱
Good now you can stop neglecting your dog. Poor doggie always gets ignored 😢
lol
Enjoy your 2 month vacation. Jajaja I'm on my 5th month but I start job hunting next month.
Full time youtube Gilby!
He’s definitely on the spectrum.
You might need to repost the video you put up today, it seems like it went down?
Gilbert is famous.
at least your had quite some time to prepare gill Halloween last year?
How much do you want for your truck Gilbert? I’m very interested
What job u had d warehouse job?!? How long were u there!????? So what does it feel like not doing tat no more?!?

Hi joedirt
I'm allergic to debt.
Start investing, put your money to work for you
California needs new governance!
Gil , what's up keep me up to date ,high school friends macario
Why you do filming location,why why
You should do another video on thrift stores..
I'll try making a 360-degree video!
What happen to your job?
Lay off
@@fueledbymusic3 I’m sorry to hear that man. Economy is not doing well, but you definitely qualify for unemployment. Take advantage take some time off and then when you’re ready go back to work.
Gilbert, you can make $1,000 a week delivering food for Doordash and Uber Eats.
Nah uber sucks 😔 how many hours u working to make tat!? Plus putting wear n tear plus putting miles on ur car nahh
@@milin7120 Just suggesting it until he finds a new job. It's easy money. Also in Ca, they get paid more than the rest of the country due to Prop 22.
@@milin7120 i'm in nyc, do about 35 hours a week. yea wear and tear sucks but better than making $0 like he's doing now
I sell my man hole when times are tough.
You can’t collect unemployment, unless you are looking for a job and can’t turn down any jobs offered.
Whatta cutey cat mwah 😂😂😍😍
Aye, Gil Walmart sucks ass bro. I waited over 30 minutes to pick up my online order one time. Stay away. I saw a bunch of youngsters lugging a bunch of orders and they so unorganized like cheap labor.
I'll never get the insanity of people talking about the lord
Whats next on your life
Don't lose hope,its not the end of the world.
sup with the nose hair bro!
I would braid them into a toe ring and wear it proudly to a gay bar.
You got more time now to do more live streams😂
A wealthy man has no bills.
Review Video Games
Old school video games.
@@bigdawg8412
Get back into running
Maybe do some gaming videos!
Throw away some junk make more space at your home.
Time to Review stuff on TH-cam. If you going to eat all that food might as well review it on TH-cam 😂😂😂
Quit eating junk food! I see your kitchen. You guys could move to the Phillipines and do a life blog. It's so cheap there.
