So sorry to hear this, Kat! Praying for your family. I know how difficult and exhausting it is to have to start over. Wishing you all the best.

does he like his job though? maybe someone is trying to tell him its time to follow a passion.

That's rough! I had to scramble to find four jobs last year. I found out that my current main source might get sued out of existence. I'm thinking about going solo to compete with them, and maybe fill in part of the gap they leave behind. There are some large challenges with that, however, but it's the only idea that keeps me sane. Maybe it's time for you two to sit down and brainstorm on an ideal business to run? I know you've been looking for a career change, so this may be a great way for you to support a passion that both of you can get behind. I only know about one of his talents, but I'm not sure how lucrative that could be. Pastry businesses generally don't make money. Maybe he could do that as a fun side project while other wheels are turning. Your family will be in my prayers to have a heavenly outcome!

there you go then, a chance to do something big. start a business, make shit, whatever he's into. better to be poor and doing what you like, rather doing a job you hate to buy shit you don't actually need. that'll put you in an early grave.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement! ๐Ÿ’œ It's frustrating and scary to be going through this again for sure. My husband is in the security businessโ€”he knows about things like alarm systems, cameras, access controls, fire safety, and ejecting miscreants ๐Ÿ˜‚ He's great with peopleโ€”he is well-liked friends among colleagues and customers (just not HR apparently) And he's a good salesperson He's a dependable workhorse and all-round good person There should be something good out there for someone like him, right? I hope your idea takes off too! ๐Ÿ™

If he likes security, there is a need for security systems that don't spy on their users. People don't have the time and resources to look for the available off-the-shelf systems that value privacy. This is something that he could easily start small with, even just doing it on weekends and evenings while working some part-time job, if that's needed. Aside from installing tech, he could do security evaluations, which would teach people where their weak points are, and what needs to happen to harden their location. This would lead to sales for hardware and installation. Offering kickback for successful referrals would help drive happy customers to bird-dog for more. Hosting a free class about basic security could get the ball rolling quickly.

Thank you! ๐Ÿ’œ I noticed this job loss hit harder than the last one, maybe because it was more sudden and we were still in the honeymoon period of the job. But I know for sure he is capable of a lot more than that
