Anant P 5 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hi! Dont worry dear 💙 this pandemic caused a lot of hardship for so many people (including me), but as soon as all this will get over, I hope you will find an amazing job.

BrodyBanks 3 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If this is a place to rant, I am about to open my emotional floodgates. With the pandemic, I have been staying with my parents and my two sisters. It has been AMAZING to have people to be with when so many are dealing with issues by themselves this year, but we do have lots of drama between each other. Most of it has to do with masks and social distancing. Both my parents are Republicans, although my Mom is kind of an Independent (Voted for Obama in 2008), and they don't seem to care about health guidelines. They host parties and go out to eat constantly, even with increasing cases in our area and a large elderly population. Even worse, my Dad travels constantly and works with many old people. In comparison, I am very careful and attempt to social distance as much as possible. I avoid eating out to protect our service workers, and instead order in when I have the chance. It is just very stressful because I feel helpless in my efforts, as they are very likely to get Covid due to their lifestyle and spread it to me. So I now have feelings of anger and resentment, as I now constantly think "What is the point of trying". Thanks for letting me rant, don't know how to end this though. Feel free to respond. Lots of Love, Brody. Link to post Share on other sites

Adrian Rosas 7 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I compare my narrative to others. Even though I have finished college and done so many amazing things, I cannot stop comparing my timeline to the ones who surround me, so I usually feel bad because I realize I am not "the best", even though I should feel grateful because of all the incredible things I have (such as health, family, and friends).

Leography 510 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 So, some of you may remember my other thread where I talked about difficulties I was facing with my work. Turns out, starting this weekend I'll start looking for another job. It's one thing doubting yourself, but having your boss picking fights with you just because she doesn't like that you're working from home (WHEN THE GOVERNEMENT EXPLICITLY SAID TO DO SO) is NOT OKAY. I'm so done with it. It'll probably be the same elsewhere (I work in graphic design, this isn't a really "people" friendly environnement, it's all about the money and profit.) but this is just too toxic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Leave that job. You don’t need to work for people like your boss. They don’t really care about thirty employees, they only are about themselves and that’s not right. Being in a toxic environment like that is not good for you. So it’s a great decision if you’re planning to quit there. Good luck my dear. ✨ 1 Lady's got a killer groove, and you've got a lot to lose Link to post Share on other sites

Why dont you just start working as freelancers Leo? There are tons of websites onlines that are hiring designers Link to post Share on other sites

I've sent tons of CVs in the last few months and nobody has ever contacted me back, but who cares, just keep doing it, sooner or later I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for! I know it can be frustrating, it really is, especially in a time like this. I am looking for a job in the tourism industry and well, that's one of the worst at the moment cause nobody's traveling 🙄 Your creativity won't go away! You can do your work and express your creativity at home for fun, to keep yourself busy. I know it's a difficult situation right now, but my advice for you is to keep looking for a job as a graphic designer, and in the meantime looking for a different job that might be easier to get. I'm working at the grocery store right now, to keep myself busy during this pandemic, so I can earn money while I look for a better job. Grocery stores will always remain open, so that's a good place to work. I get this job through an employment agency, which also might be helpful. You decide, but don't give up 😊 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully I will one day, but I still have too much to learn before I can offer anything good on my own! Link to post Share on other sites
