I was fired from my job suddenly and unexpectedly the end of last week. After thanking God for the time I had there, I've been asking for him to guide me to whatever I should do next. If you're willing, please say a prayer for me asking the same.
Thanks, hope you had a blessed Sunday.

I used to work for a big globohomo company too. Pay was good, liked the people there, but the corporate woke culture was *terrible* and I hated it and their weekly "look at how DIVERSE and HOMOSEXUAL we are" emails. Real shame really because a vast majority of the people I worked with were great, including management in most cases. They up and fired me too about a year ago now, but it only took me 2 months to find another job and I enjoyed the nice break. Took a pay cut but it's at a *much* smaller company and it's a night-and-day difference compared to before. Don't enjoy the work as much anymore, but that's just the price you have to pay to not have to work with pajeets and have faggotry stuffed down your throat all the time I guess. If you can hack it for a few months unemployed, you'll be just fine.

Funny enough, the company I worked for before was the big, globohomo corporation with all the faggy shit. But it was chill because our local branch had four total workers besides me, three white dudes and a based jew all aged 40+. Was super laid back and we mostly just ignored the globohomo company bs, which our immediate boss intentionally passed down as little as possible of.
The place I got fired from was the small company, but they very pointedly *aspired* to be a globohomo corporation. They literally still had their covid social distancing signs up all over the place with the minimalist blob people graphic design on them. They wanted to be like the big soulless corporations they were competing with but with a fraction of the resources, and it was unholy cringe.

Blah, hope it won't be that long. I've definitely got the savings to float and no rent to pay, but I absolutely loathe having too much time on my hands (terminal workaholic gang 😞)
Dedicate a couple hours per day to actively searching for a new job.
Dedicate a few hours each day to doing the shit you've put off for the last couple years. Also, call friends and family and ask if there's anything you can fix for them. Almost everyone has their own shit they need fixed.
During Christmas i visited family. I fixed some broken shutters, some leaky faucets, some sheetrock damage, helped stain a fence and deck, fixed a bad ground loop in a stereo system, installed exterior lighting, etc.
When family was watching football i made it clear that i did not like sportsball, which left me by myself looking for productive shit to do.
As of Germany, software developer, my experience wasn't too far from that. No globohomo crap, but it was a leadership via fear and extreme amounts of incompetence. Employees all went "I'm just doing what I'm paid to do, and what I am told." I hate that spineless attitude. I always went for high-quality work, which improved my skills as well. I even voluntarily mentored a newbie. Not only did they not support me, not appreciate it the slightest, but made it more difficult. The good manager left at some point. The guy before him taught him for 1 year involuntarily with no results btw.
It was like they never had any time, always under pressure, full of stress. Two finished projects I made got discarded, where the first one took me 2 years of work (would have been faster and better if it went my way btw), and the second one was a rework of an old program.
Upon reflection I realized the boss of the company had full control over anything, even technical details. He told my manageress to tell me to do something a certain way, which was a TERRIBLE idea, so I wrote him a nice e-mail that expanded on the topic and offered better alternatives. It was professional and objective. Given that he wanted to suddenly partake in the technical details (which he didn't in anything else), he seemed to be up to talk about it.
Later he exposed my e-mail and complained among the leadership about how insolent I am. My manageress told me about it, but we basically just laughed it off. 2 weeks later he decided (totally his original idea) to do the mediocre option I wrote in the e-mail - of course not the best btw.
So I made the following: I restructured the code so that ANY of these options (3) can be done by simply changing 1-2 lines of code. So in the case they (he) decided to cease to be retarded, they could switch from the mediocre option to the best one. Or just down to the worst option.
Then we parted over a bureaucratic thing where they went full retard and made my life harder while it cost them +10-15% of my salary in expenses to a jewish third party. And communication was terrible, that incompetent bitch "forgot" me for 2 weeks when it mattered. I wasn't really being fired, nor did I quit - I was halfway out of the door, and they insisted on their stupidity, so it was over.
I remember during covid when i was getting the sense i might be fired because everyone kept reporting me for not wearing a mask ....
...I inserted passwords to modify or alter much of my code. So when they did eventually fire me they lost access to all the coding and script i had written. LOL
Now i'm just doing gigs for cash and only making about $600-$1000 cash per week. More free time on my hands to work on the farm, though. I'm building another shed and installing some solar panels and gutters. Actually i have too many ongoing projects to list.
That's good. In my case I wouldn't have minded if they used the stuff I coded. But I believe they use 0% of what I did there. 2 finished projects which were completely discarded.
I even tried to introduce a project in which common, generic classes and functions are stored for everyone to use. It would have had a lot of advantages to save time and effort, and have some developer cooperation, refinement of code, etc. The project could be compiled into a DLL, or singular .cs files could be copied, or even both (just in case).
Nobody cared. Nobody even looked at it. Nobody even cared to listen. One time in private I even offered a major performance increase alternative for the first big project I worked on... nobody cared either.
Anyway, I continue to use all of these for myself. Things like TwoKeyDictionary<Key1, Key2, Value>, or CooldownTimer that has a warmup and cooldown time. A DebugTool class that greatly helps with debugging. Or functions like Clamp, RoundToInt, statistical stuff, Randomizer to generate any type of randomized values or strings. Now it has some quite complicated things even, like a memory pool that yields special MemoryStreams that are reused for maximum performance.
And the project I offered was a communication library for clients and servers, which is now the basis for my main project.
>they wanted to be like the big soulless corporations they were competing with but with a fraction of the resources, and it was unholy cringe.
Woah. That sounds horrendous.
>Blah, hope it won't be that long.
I went back to one of my even farther previous manual-labor type jobs for a few weeks just for the extra money and something to do, but by the end I almost wished I'd have had a little bit more time off lol. I had just been starting to get nervous because I thought it was going to take much longer than it did to find another job.
