Brutal but real once you hit 45 it's really harsh the unemployment system also gets hard to use because nobody wants you it assumes a lack of age discrimination and also assumes the economy is always strong plus they haven't raised the ceiling for EDD since 1976 so there is a lot to be worried about if you're over the age of 22 these days .
- markus_zhang 7y agoI wonder how other people deal with difficult situations like this (laid off at 45)...must be pretty tough to them. I'm not particularly worried about the finance because we have ourselves covered and do not have needs of luxury. What I really fear is the lack of interesting work to do from now on. This is part of the reason that I need to find something that I can relax on and maybe grow a hobby out of it. I have been teaching myself programming these days but the job is very demanding so I don't have much brain power left except for weekends. Maybe I should regularly work out to increase energy level and go from there instead.
