Losing a job after dedicating 18 years to can be tough, it has left me feeling hurt and unappreciated. However, this experience also opens doors to a fresh start and a chance to rediscover my path in life. Over 18 years, I’ve invested time, energy, and passion into my job. The dedication I’ve poured into the work was a testament to my loyalty and commitment to my employer. During those years, I built relationships with colleagues and clients, and I can’t help but feel a sense of loss as I bid farewell to that part of my life. Being let go from a job that I’ve dedicated so much to can be an emotional rollercoaster. Feelings of hurt and disappointment, as I question why my years of hard work didn’t seem to matter in the end. I just need to remember that my worth goes beyond any job and new opportunities await in the horizon. How can society better support individuals who have dedicated many years to a job and face feelings of hurt and unappreciation when they are let go?
