Reading these threads about people losing their jobs, healthcare and suffering from crippling anxiety is f---- heart breaking.
But, listen, the economy in which you went to school, got a job, worked at said job for 10+ years, and based your entire value system upon is gone.
I went into the job market post 2008 and was unemployed for over a year after graduation, was laid off twice, and never held a job from more than 2 and a half years -- a typical millennial worker.
I come to work every Monday morning without any illusions that my job is secure, or that I am 'safe'. I am always aware that I can see that HR email at any hour of any day at work, and I am always looking for the next gig. I have no loyalty to my manager, no confidence in the CEO, and 0 loyalty to BNY or any other company.
You might say that I am at a different stage of my life, with a different set of priorities and responsibilities, and that my experience does not mean sh--.
Ok, but, you need to accept that this is the new economy, and you need to come up with some kind of plan.
I wish all of you the best of luck.
