  • On Saturday? Day 10

    The job search continues, and my final day is quickly approaching with my current employer and outplacement service looming in the next week. It will be 3 months of fun learning all the new tricks of the job market once it starts. Luck, someone you know and being at the right place and time is…

  • Don’t Quit!

    I thought I would be blogging every day after losing my job. That is not happening as of now. I just reviewed my spreadsheet of job tracking progress over the past week after notification of my job elimination. This included some networking along the way. I applied for 20 positions targeted and not random out…

  • Renewed Energy!!!

    Day 3 in my job search… I just took a course on how to blog better today. It’s a work in progress and I am not using AI and blogging with emotion as of now. It will get better. But I was inspired immediately after I lost my job. My son texted me “I’m sorry…

  • I lost my job!

    I lost my job yesterday 3/6/25. My position was eliminated after a reorganization. I got the last minute dreaded one on one meeting on my calendar with my boss scheduled on 3/5/25 the day before. My mind raced, the stress levels went through the roof and I could not sleep up until that fateful moment…

  • Job recruitment is failing…

    Live is Life! Are you surviving? Food, shelter and clothing are basics that are a challenge for you. Me too! You are not alone and hopefully it improves. Definitely not new, but more difficult now than ever before. Trying to live the American Dream? I am grateful for everything I have! It’s not easy!!! The…

  • I’m the “Unknown Operations Guy”

    It was that time of year again to submit mid-years. I was prepared until my laptop went down the night before it was due. No big deal? For me it is as I consider myself the “Unknown Operations Guy” similar to stuntmen in movies. Doing all the challenging and dirty work behind the scenes to…

  • Success: I am staying relevant

    My proudest moment continues to be when things were the toughest. It’s a challenge out there and even when I graduated college things didn’t immediately happen the way I thought they would with a high paying job and climbing the corporate ladder handed to me. Resilience matters in life. My aunt gave me this message…

  • “I’m on Fire”

    Figuratively speaking only, do not light a match next to me though I am moisturizing my face. I am the corporate guy that is more frequently going on camera to stay relevant in a remote working world. Do not get me started on going back to the office, a hybrid environment or working remote all…

  • Ugh! Change in the workplace

    I am currently going through an organizational change in my workplace after new leadership and a merger with another company. Although it can be exciting for the potential new opportunities, it is stressful and difficult not to overthink, especially when you are changing roles and responsibilities. Am I being excluded from meetings with senior leaders…
