Welp. I just lost my job due to AI. I am very afraid of the near future. I don’t do well with change and this is basically maximum change. I’ve wanted to change jobs for a while but haven’t been able to because it frightens me so much…

Oh that sucks. Are you planning on transitioning into a different career?

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

No I’m very good at what I do, so I’ll stick with that.
