so I wasn't even planning on making a video I was just trying to do some work

I recently moved house like literally a few days ago

so I'm still setting up my office it's a bit of a mess there's all this stuff behind me

and next to me but I've had my working space set up to how I wanted

and I was just doing some work and then I got this email saying that let me bring it up

and the email says invitation to discuss changes to my role and

And there was also like a letter included.

And everything in it kind of sounds like it's a redundancy.

But it doesn't like explicitly say it.

It just says there's going to be changes to your role.

They said they're not making any decisions yet,

but the meeting is conducted by the head of tech and also an HR person.

And when I noticed that an HR person is involved, I automatically started thinking, this is not good news.

and i should probably clarify so i'm a software developer

and recently my company has heavily invested into like ai and ai is doing

a lot of our work at the moment like it's increased my productivity the the amount of work

I would do in two weeks.

I can probably do in two days now.

Maybe three days.

So it's definitely improved productivity.

And the last few months, everyone has been reassured

that all the permanent full -time employees are safe no one's job is at risk

but a few weeks back i think three developers were made redundant and now it seems like there's more to come

and it sucks because the job market is terrible at the moment especially in software development and we just bought this house

this is frustrating we just bought a new house

I don't know what to do

Because I know some people

Who were In a similar position I know they couldn't find a job for like 6 months

in the particular tech stack that I work in.

So it's not looking good.

Like, I don't know for sure.

I'll find out tomorrow.

I don't want to react too soon, but based on everything I've read, this is not good news.

So I may have to potentially figure out a way to change careers

I need to do something that can pay the same amount of money so I can pay my new mortgage

Yeah, this sucks, this really sucks

Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen.

I'll wait till tomorrow and have like a follow -up tomorrow.

How did you get a job?

So it's five minutes before the meeting starts.

The meeting that will kind of decide whether I have a job or not.

But I've spoken to a couple of people who got the same email as me.

They had the exact same meetings and yeah, it's basically a redundancy.

I think they will cut around 30 jobs company -wide.

So it's not looking good for me.

I kind of wish we didn't buy that house.

If I knew this was going to happen, we wouldn't have bought the house.

Yeah, this is shit.

It's really shit.

I don't know what else to say.

here we go the meeting has started just gotta join it now so what's going on is that due to

economic challenges uh during this review

we identified your role as being at risk no final decision

has been made yet this is just a start of a consultation process

you know a few few weeks back we were all assured

that you know all the permanent employees are safe and

that the contractors were going to be like removed at the end of

or in october when contract runs out and everyone was saying

that you know all the onshore developers are safe and

that doesn't seem to be the case

so i kind of wish i knew earlier so i could have looked for work

it's just the timing of this sucks like it's like the worst possible time

because we just bought a new house and our mortgage doubled

and the job market sucks so i don't know what i'm gonna do I understand

Is it not

Fuck Fuck Fuck

What makes this worse is I've got my kids photos on my computer

And it's like I get that decision

And then I look at my screen And I see them And I'm like

What the fuck am I gonna do oh oh I gotta turn that off

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
