Yes, it is a very sad situation. If they are in their 50s, they are effectively out of their industry liao. There are currently so many fresh grads struggling to find jobs, why would anyone hire someone in their 50s? The two-year covid gap did not help them either.

the jobs that they once held no longer exist and the new jobs that appear are totally different, not just the job itsef but the culture of the comapny that does these new jobs do not fit these folks

I didnt lose my job due to covid19, but just so nice the timing I quit to slack came at the same time as covid19.

I left my job in early 2020 having planned to take a little break from slogging and go for a short holiday. But the pandemic struck, disrupting my plans.

Then switched back to slacking/rotting in Sg.... then about few months later started to find jobs. Went for a handful of interviews.

Got lucky and landed a job in late 2020.

That's good. Heard that many people changed or upgraded jobs successfully during this period.

Just Curious. Are you in your 30s, 40s or 50s?

I am 39 this yr.

dont care what age you lost your job. Just keep that financial account in check. Dont have any unnecessary debts if possible. You can be a high ranking role but still take in debt.

Coming back to this topic, of course many had lost their jobs due to covid. To sustain business, need have cuts somewhere. At the same time, many new job opportunities appeared. you gotta do what you gotta do. Kena let go from a previous job with higher pay?Take paycuts and go for other jobs.
