just lost my only job i was counting on to change my life and finances
I finally landed a role that i was excited for, and the last 7 months were going extremely well- loved my managers and my team i worked with. We all just were on a work trip literally 3 weeks ago and everything was fine- My job i landed was in sales and honestly i was super stoked for what was to come. For starters i’m 26- and i kinda got into bad debt a few years back when i first moved out on my own, while i dealt with 2 hurricanes and my job at the time wasn’t paying me for any Hurricane relief stuff so i was scrambling to pay rent and took out a loan & opened a CC. FEMA was confusing and i honestly hate myself for not taking better steps to seek help with this type of stuff as I moved from the midwest I truly didn’t understand how any of this assistance stuff worked at the time & my car flooded- it was just a mess.
Well- i thought i finally found a job that was going to help me finally get my debt under control and also being excited about my career with the company. Then out of nowhere last Friday my team and i recieve 30 second phone calls basically saying they are letting us go??? Without any reasoning??? MY WHOLE TEAM- our managers had no idea and my manager even txted me yesterday saying he feels bad for us. We were apart of a training program for the company and we just had a few meetings last week about traveling around our respective areas.
They offered to pay us two more paychecks for “Severance” but i’m just of words.
I have stupid personal loans and CC (not high amounts but crazy interest!) that i was really wanting to pay off.
I also thought I finally found a job that well for one I ACTUALLY WANTED TO DO & was passionate about! I have made a lot of connections with people here about connecting with them when I was done with training. Now i just feel so hopeless and idk where to start with job searching.
idk what im asking for- insight in job opportunities? filling for bankruptcy to get these personal loans that all have like $800-1000 left on them, my CC have like $4000 total, i was so stoked to be ready to sell in the next few months with this role that i was making good money even just with my paychecks i was able to afford the basics.
Now idk what to do or start and been feeling like a failure the last few days.
